JJ Reddick claims Nikola Jokic’s Nuggets are currently in ‘championship form’ following clutch win over the Timberwolves

Last night, Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets visited the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Nuggets edged a last-minute triumph to return home with a 115-112 crucial away win, thus ending the Timberwolves’ game-winning run.

Jokic showed his MVP credentials with a double-double performance of 35 points, 16 rebounds, and two assists, while Michael Porter Jr. had 26 points, 13 of which came in the fourth quarter alone, four rebounds, and one assist. The T-Wolves star player had 30 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists, his fourth straight 30-point game.

After the game, the crew of ESPN’s “First Take” were analyzing the game, and JJ Redick had some exciting things to say regarding the Nuggets, who were fully loaded, taking on an undermanned Timberwolves. The Nuggets have been on fire since the All-Star break. 

For me, this was more about the Nuggets. And I'll say this: as a player for 15 years now, I am a fan who watches basketball every night. How many times have we seen a fully loaded team, a very good team, go against an undermanned team, and that undermanned team outperforms expectations... The Denver Nuggets right now are in championship form. Redick stated
