Paul Millsap likened Nikola Jokic to New England Patriots star Tom Brady after the Serbian led the Denver Nuggets to victory over the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series. Just two days after defeating the San Antonio Spurs in Game 7, Jokic put up 37 points in the 121-113 victory, making 11 of 18 shots and all 12 free throws to go with six assists and nine rebounds. Jokic clocked up an impressive 41-and-a-half minutes after playing 43-and-a-half against the Spurs, and Millsap said his team-mate's ability to always make the right decision is similar to legendary NFL quarterback Brady.
