Nikola Jokic went off for a career-high 53 points in Denver Nuggets' 129-124 Game 4 loss against Phoenix Suns on Sunday. The former two-time MVP also bagged 11 assists and four rebounds, shooting an efficient 66.7%. Jokic single-handedly gave Denver a shot at flipping the script in Game 4.However, it wasn't enough, as Jamal Murray's 25-point night was the only viable contribution the Nuggets got apart from Jokic's 50-bomb. The Suns have the All-Star center all the room to operate, letting him play iso basketball against Deandre Ayton and Jock Landale.They took a gamble on that and guarded the others with more intensity. That limited the Denver Nuggets' shot attempts as a team. The Nuggets shot 56.2%, but a lack of shot creation from their role players hampered their chance of winning Game 4 and taking a commanding 3-1 series lead back to Denver.Regardless of the outcome, NBA fans online gave Nikola Jokic his flowers for a dominant performance.
