Nikola Jokic is going viral not just because of his monster game for the Denver Nuggets in Game 4. A video of him showing how he predicted the Golden State Warriors' final play is also earning him massive praises online.
With 31 second left and the Nuggets just up by two at 123-121, the Warriors had a play set up where they would lob the ball to Andrew Wiggins. Before they pulled off the play, though, Jokic saw it coming and quickly instructed his teammates to prepare for it.
Sure enough, when Porter passed the ball to Wiggins, Austin Rivers was there to deflect it leading to a steal for Denver. The Nuggets then proceeded to bank a triple to take the game away for good.
Here's a look at Jokic's clutch call:

Nikola Jokic finished with 37 points, eight rebounds and six assists in the contest. More than his numbers, though, his leadership and basketball genius to realize the play that quickly were pivotal in giving them the 126-121 win.
The Nuggets are still down 3-1 to the Warriors, and the series now shifts back to Golden State where the Dubs will hope to close things out. However, the victory at home is certainly a morale-booster that should keep Denver confident in their attempt to stay alive.
They have erased 3-1 deficits before, and they are certainly hoping they can do it again.
