NikNikola Jokic, the most efficient maker of floaters in the basketball world, made a crucial free-throw with 21 seconds left in the final minute of the Game 2 of the Nuggets-Timberwolves playoff series. He was about to release a floater to tie the score at 115, but instead he chose not to do so. The floater was almost as automatic as a layup, especially when the rim protector was out of the picture. However, he reconsidered his decision and said he should have taken the shot. The game ended in a 119-114 loss to the Timberwolves, with Christian Braun taking responsibility for the missed free throws. Both Jokics and Jamal Murray combined to miss seven consecutive shots during crucial time as the Timberwolves took control of the game.
