Nikola Jokic finished with 21 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists as the Denver Nuggets beat the San Antonio Spurs 90-86 to win the series in 7 games.

"He's magnificent. Magnificent. I'll just leave it at that," said Gregg Popovich on Jokic.

Jokic recorded the first triple-double in game 7 since LeBron James in the 2016 NBA Finals.

"I think the team expected me to do something, so I'm just going out there and trying to play my best basketball possible. So is it something that I live for? No. It's just really good stats," said Jokic.

Michael Malone reflected about how far the Nuggets have come during his time with the team.

"You looked in the stands, it was witness protection night. There was nobody here. Really ... to see where we've come in four years, to being a team that won a Game 7 at home and advancing to the second round for the first time in a while, is incredible. It's almost surreal at times," said Malone.

The Nuggets play the Blazers in the Western Conference semifinals starting Monday.
