It has been a blast watching Nikola Jokic play this season, especially in the last game against the Boston Celtics. As the Sunday Night game ended with a final score of 123-111, Jokic had 30 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists. However, he was not the only one to contribute to the team, as Bruce Brown also contributed 21 points. As a result, he shot 57% from the field and made 17 of 30 three-pointers, which certainly caught everyone’s attention.

Based on the stats report, this was Nuggets‘ 10th consecutive win out of 12. In the current league, they are providing tough competition. Meanwhile, the Celtics gave a fair shot as well, with Jaylen Brown contributing 30 points.

Aside from all these game commotions, fans noticed and made a buzz on the internet when Jokic wore his wedding ring in his shoelaces. The “wholesome” ritual Jokic performed against the Celtics made NBA fans believe he is “winning life”.
