Watch: Nikola Jokic's MVP performance extends to time-wasting vs. Timberwolves

Nikola Jokic may just have himself a future as a soccer player.

Jokic and the Denver Nuggets evened up their second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves at two games apiece with a 115-107 victory in Sunday’s Game 4 in Minnesota. After leading by as many as 18 at one point, the Nuggets held off to a late comeback effort by the Timberwolves to hang on for the win.

After the game, a video from the “Hot Hand Theory” podcast went viral pointing out some shrewd time-wasting tactics that Jokic engaged in during the game. Following multiple made baskets by the surging Timberwolves in the fourth quarter, Jokic cleverly bled some clock by intentionally letting the ball bounce or by delaying in giving the ball back to the referee so that the five-second inbounds timer would not begin yet.

The video noted that Jokic successfully wasted nearly a minute of game clock during the fourth quarter through his tactics. Take a look below.
