Watch: Nikola Jokic hits insane half-court buzzer beater to top Warriors

Nikola Jokic has hit 39 of his 44 shots over the past four games, and the last one he took was a game-winning buzzer-beater from 39 feet to beat the Golden State Warriors 130-127.

Jokic’s insane shot capped a 25-4 Denver Nuggets run to score the comeback win over the Warriors. Jokic finished with 34 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, two steals and a block as Denver won 13 of its last 15.

Jokic’s defense actually led the Nuggets to get the ball back, doubling Steph Curry and forcing a Jamal Murray steal. Jokic got the inbound and answered a prayer right in front of a smack-talking Steve Kerr.
