The current leader in the battle for the new MVP was once again not fully protected by the three referee
Denver was defeated by the Kings in Sacramento 135:106 last night, and after the game, there was talk of bad refereeing, which made the Nuggets’ best player, Nikola Jokić, very angry.
Nikola Jokić had to endure a lot of blows in this match, however the referee seems to ignore those situations, that’s why he completely lost his temper, so he had something to complain about to referee Dannica Mosher.
Because of his behavior, she immediately pointed out the technical error to him and did not allow him to complain.
Jokić spent 30 minutes on the court, and he had to stay in the locker room for a while after a hit to the thigh, also without penalty, and in that time he scored 23 points, added 8 rebounds and 7 assists create. That makes him Denver’s best player by far, but he didn’t give his teammates enough motivation in this game.
For Sacramento, Malik Monk scored 23 points and Keegan Murray added 17 points.
