The Denver Nuggets won Game 3 on Thursday, extending their win streak against the Los Angeles Lakers to 11 games. The Nuggets are on the brink of sweeping the Lakers out of the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
"Winning is a lifestyle for us," said Nikola Jokic postgame. "It's really good when you're winning. Especially when you win a lot of games, everybody is happy, everybody wants to play, everybody is buying into the system. I was here when we were losing. So I don’t want to go back to that."
Through three games of the 2024 NBA playoffs, Jokic has a PER of 35.0 while averaging 27.7 points, 15.7 rebounds and 8.7 assists.
Jokic is on the verge of his third regular season MVP while the Nuggets are defending their championship.
