It marked the worst three-game shooting slump of his career. Denver couldn\u2019t hold their late lead.<\/p>\n<p>Jokic has gone 21-of-63 over the last three games, and Oklahoma City\u2019s physical defense \u2014 especially from Isaiah Hartenstein \u2014 has been key. Hartenstein held Jokic to 3-of-10 when matched up. \u201cWe\u2019re just staying disciplined,\u201d the center said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander came up clutch, scoring 25 points and sealing the win with key buckets in the final minutes. Game 5 shifts to Oklahoma City on Tuesday, with momentum on the Thunder\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">6&#8217;5&#8243; Alex Caruso is guarding 6&#8217;11&#8221; Nikola Jokic \ud83d\ude24<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcfa OKC-Nuggets | ABC <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/78kr9592Me\">pic.twitter.com\/78kr9592Me<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ESPN (@espn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/espn\/status\/1921659197436895589?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 11, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Nikola Jokic over his last 3 games:<\/p>\n<p>21.3 PPG<br \/>\n5.3 TOV<br \/>\n33.3% FG<br \/>\n18.2% 3PT<br \/>\n43.8% TS <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TXnI21Yz6B\">pic.twitter.com\/TXnI21Yz6B<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Real Sports (@realapp_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realapp_\/status\/1921692537057657257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 11, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nikola Jokic had another inefficient game in the Nuggets&#8217; 92-87 loss to the Thunder.
