Not even Nikola Jokic's team-high 25 points, seven rebounds, eight assists, three steals, one block and two triples were enough to get the Denver Nuggets over the hump on Thursday night.
The Los Angeles Clippers just refused to lose in Game 6, and they kept their season alive by securing a hard-fought 111-105 victory at Intuit Dome to tie this series at 3-3.
It's now down to just one game for these two West rivals, with the winner of Saturday's Game 7 matchup proceeding to the next round. The losers, however, will see their season come to an end.
Jokic already has his sights set on the winner-take-all clash, and he has a bit of advice for fans who want to witness some elite-level ball.
"If you like basketball, like a really true fan of basketball, not like fame basketball, like really like details stuff, I think this is the games that you should watch," declared the three-time NBA MVP.
In terms of his mindset entering the pivotal matchup, however, Jokic revealed that he plans to treat it like any other game.
"I'm going to approach it just (like) another one because I play every game," he said. "For me, it's really important. Every game is important and every game, I want to win. So I'm going to play as a regular game."
