Game 2 between the Nuggets and Lakers in Denver was one of the wildest finishes of the year (but arguably not the wildest finish of the night in the NBA).

The Nuggets erased a 20-point deficit to earn a 101-99 win, hitting all seven of their shots in the final four-plus minutes to walk down the Lakers before Jamal Murray could hit the game-winner at the buzzer over Anthony Davis.

It was an incredible scene at Ball Arena, as the place erupted after Murray’s shot and the celebration was on in Denver.

Also getting socked in the face during the game, it was a fan in the stands, who caught the fist of Jokic’s older brother, Strahinja. A video of the altercation has already gone viral.

Nikola Jokic’s brothers got into it with a fan, with one of the brothers punching the fan in the face. Naturally, because it’s 2024, someone had a phone out as things escalated and captured the punch on video.

There is clearly something more that went on here as far as that fan saying something that crossed the line at the Jokic family, as the video starts with the brothers go climbing down to confront him and, eventually, a right hand landed across his chin.

Fortunately for the fan, he only took one shot to the face. He also seems to have quite a jaw as he did not appear to be seriously hurt by the punch and can even be seen in the video still exchanging words with Strahinja after the physical confrontation.

The fact that it didn’t escalate any more from there was a good thing, as the last thing anyone wanted after that game was a brawl in the stands. I’m sure the team and league will look into whatever happened, but it’s not the first time the Jokic brothers have been ready to rumble in the playoffs.
