Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic had another dominating performance in helping the team beat the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 4 of the Western Conference semi-finals.

Jokic finished with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists, his second consecutive trip-dub in the series. This also marks the fourth time in these playoffs that the Serbian center reached double figures in points, rebounds, and assists, making him the seventh player in league history to accomplish such feat.

Jokic also had a triple-double in Friday's loss to the Blazers, but despite playing 65 minutes in Game 3, he didn't look exhausted earlier tonight. He was active on both ends of the floor, and he clearly took advantage of his matchup in the post, Enes Kanter.

Kanter has been dealing with a shoulder injury over the past couple of games, which made it easier for Jokic to attack the basket. The Blazers tried to send double teams on him, but that's when he decided to pass the ball to open teammates, who made their shots, especially when it mattered the most.

Jokic shot 8-15 from the field.

Game 5 will be played in Denver on Tuesday, and the Nuggets will be looking to push the series in their favor. If the Blazers won't be able to find a way to neutralize Jokic, they will be in big trouble.

This is the first time that Jokic has competed in the playoffs, and regardless of the outcome, he's definitely savouring this run and making the most out of every opportunity to win.
