Nikola Jokić executes a clutch turnaround fadeaway three-pointer over Chet Holmgren in Game 5

Just when it looked like the Nuggets were cooked, Nikola Jokić hit one of the wildest shots of the playoffs — a fading, one-legged, desperation three over Chet Holmgren to tie Game 5 late in the fourth.

It was classic Jokić: leaning, twisting, barely off the ground… and pure magic. The ball splashed through the net as the OKC crowd gasped and Denver’s bench erupted in disbelief. It was the kind of shot you practice as a joke — and Jokić hit it with the game on the line.

Even with Jokić dropping 44 points and 15 rebounds, the Thunder held on to win 112–105, taking a 3–2 series lead. But that shot? That’s going on the playoff highlight reel no matter what.
