Jokic played a great match, but Denver lost after two extra times: However, they wouldn't be there if the Serb didn't jump like that (VIDEO)

Marjanovic didn't enter the game, but Jokic and Teodosic had great games in the night between Wednesday and Thursday.

Jokic spent only 23 minutes on the court and had over 20 points. There was no need for him to play in the last quarter because Denver already solved who is the winner while Serbian center was in the starting line up. He scored 21 points, he had 7 rebounds and 5 assists. He was great in shooting from the play (9 of 11).

He was playing with the opposition centers, who didn't have a solution for him. He was "selling" them tricks, he scored from the other side of the hoop after they took the bate. and he would punish them when they left him alone at the three-point line.

In the end, Nuggets reached the 39th victory of the season, one less than Utah which is in the eight position, which leads to playoffs. The most efficient in the end was Paul Millsap with 22 points and 8 rebounds, but with 5 stolen balls, Wilson Chandler scored 19 points, and Will Barton and Jamal Murray 16 each.

Milos Teodosic played a great match in the victory of Clippers over Milwaukee. He was in a great mood for shooting from a distance (4 out of 5 for three points, 5 out of 8 in total), for 15 points at the end. He had four assists and 2 rebounds with one stolen ball.

Teo had a real burst fire against Bucks and he didn't wait to shoot for three points whenever he had the opportunity and that significantly helped Clippers to remain in the race for playoffs.

Whenever he had the opportunity to assist DeAndre Jordan, he used it. His center had 25 points and 22 rebounds with 4 assists at the end. That is one of the reasons why Boban Marjanovic didn't get a minute on the court.

Clippers now have a victory less than Denver, but also one match less, and two less than Utah, which is on the 8th place.

There is no question about it, there will be a hell of a fight for the place that leads to the playoffs, and besides Huston and Golden State, other teams haven't secured their place in the playoffs.

Cleveland and Toronto played the derby of the evening, and Cavaliers celebrated with 132:129 with the incredible match of Lebron James, who scored 35 points and had 17 assists. Kevin Love helped him with 23 points and 12 rebounds, as well as George Hill with 22 points.

Kyle Lowry was the best at Toronto with 24 points and DeMar DeRozan with 21 points.
