Nikola Jokic was his usual sensational self, recording a triple-double. The Nuggets led from start to finish, and now they're just one game away from advancing. Keep your eyes on this series, folks.
Let's not forget the Detroit Pistons, who kept their playoff hopes alive by sneaking past the New York Knicks, 106-103. Thanks to crucial buckets in the closing minutes from Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson, the Pistons live to fight another day, with the series heading back to Detroit for Game 6.
