A frustrating playoff series finally came to end for Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. Despite the Minnesota Timberwolves being extremely short-handed, the team still managed to eliminate the Nuggets from the playoffs with a 110-98 win.

Clark hung onto Jokić after the screen and was whistled for a foul. He then gave Jokić a light shove in the back, which the three-time NBA MVP did not like at all.

Was this merely a circumstantial collapse because of a bad matchup, or the slamming of the Nuggets' title window?
