#1 Big Men do not disappoint
It was an epic matchup between Nikola Jokic and LaMarcus Aldridge as both the big men padded the stat sheet.
Unlike the last game, LaMarcus saw a lot of Jokic on the defensive end this time around. The Serbian gave Aldridge a hard time but he still ended up with 24 points and 7 rebounds with a lot of good plays down the stretch.

Jokic, on the other hand, bounced back with 21 points, nine assists and nine rebounds in the game. He made a very important shot in the final few minutes by executing a beautiful spin move, but then got ejected after committing his sixth foul.
Nuggets were without their big man in the final few seconds but Monte Morris converted two free throws with 7 seconds to go and gave them a three-point lead which sealed the win for his side.
