Nikola Jokic and Tyrese Haliburton
Indiana Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton and Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic were involved in fiery exchanges as their teams faced each other in the ongoing season. However, the most exciting part was how the two players got back at each other, making their actions speak louder than words. The people in the stadium were treated to see one of the most intense clashes.
The Denver Nuggets took on the Indiana Pacers at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the Pacers’ home turf. The match was equally poised with less than a minute to go in the fourth quarter. The Nuggets led by two points as the scoreboard read 117-115. The ball was with Tyrese as he was trying to score an equalizer. In pursuit of that, he produced an excellent display of a jaw-dropping shot. He was defended by one of the best, Nikola Jokic. Tyrese tried to make a swift move, but Nikola stood in his way. He then came out and took the shot from the ‘D-line’ and leveled the scores. It was a well-judged shot, indeed. After Haliburton converted the shot, he looked at Nikola and kept saying, “No, No, No.”
Maybe he wanted to make sure everybody knows even Jokic couldn’t guard him. Moreover, the story doesn’t stop here. The Nuggets now had possession of the ball. Their star Jamal Murray had the ball and was trying to score. Seeing the defender get to him, he passed the ball to Jokic. The MVP awardee knew this was an excellent opportunity to get back at Tyrese and score valuable points for his team, and Jokic successfully converted the clutch shot with a very calm head. This caused a stir in the NBA world, and fans have given mixed reactions, as some of them can be seen below:
