Jokić`s stellar season ends in heartbreak as Nuggets fall to Thunder, despite his record-breaking triple-doubles.

Nikola Jokić`s dazzling performance could not shield the Denver Nuggets from the relentless onslaught of the Oklahoma City Thunder, as they were eliminated in a gripping seven-game battle during the Western Conference semifinals of the 2024-25 NBA season. Jokić, the cornerstone of the Nuggets, showcased his elite talent, averaging an impressive 28.4 points per game throughout the playoff series.

Despite the turmoil surrounding the franchise, including the firing of both the head coach and general manager just before the playoffs, Jokić stood tall as a beacon of hope. He led the league with a staggering 34 triple-doubles this season, leaving behind giants like Giannis Antetokounmpo (11), LeBron James (1, and Luka Doncic (5) in his wake. Yet, the Thunder, spearheaded by MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, proved too formidable, advancing to the Western Conference Finals without a single triple-double from their star.

As the Nuggets` season came to a close, the spotlight remained on Jokić`s remarkable individual achievements, overshadowed by the team`s inability to progress. The Thunder will now face the Minnesota Timberwolves, while the Indiana Pacers prepare to challenge for the title against OKC in the 2025 NBA Finals.
