The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a double blow on Monday night. Not only did they lose their second consecutive game to the Denver Nuggets, but a fan also faced the consequences of confronting Nikola Jokic and his brother.
While details of the altercation remain unclear, fans are familiar with the fiery nature of Jokic's siblings. Their presence in the stands often prompts caution from spectators. However, one brave (or perhaps foolish) fan decided to take a chance, enduring a punch from Jokic's brother but seemingly walking away relatively unscathed.
Unfazed by the sideline incident, Nikola Jokic delivered a dominant performance on the court. The reigning MVP and champion secured a triple-double as the Nuggets secured a convincing win over the Lakers in Game 2.
Nikola Jokic displayed his signature all-around brilliance, putting up a stat line of 27 points, a massive 20 rebounds, and 10 assists. He further bolstered his performance with 2 steals and a minimal 3 turnovers.
With this victory, the Nuggets have established a commanding 2-0 series lead against the 7th-seeded Lakers. This dominant start positions them favorably for a repeat performance, aiming to reach the second round for the second consecutive year.
