Nikola Jokic finished with 24 points for the Denver Nuggets
Nikola Jokic was ejected after an altercation with Jaden McDaniels as the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Denver Nuggets to move to the brink of victory in the NBA play-offs first round.
With the Timberwolves 14 points ahead in game four with 1.3 seconds of the match remaining, McDaniels scored an uncontested lay-up when the Nuggets players were expecting him to run the clock down.
Seeing the play as bad sportsmanship, Serbia's Jokic, 31, ran from mid-court to confront McDaniels, shoving the American which incited a scuffle between both sides' benches.
The incident led to NBA three-time Most Valuable Player player Jokic being ejected from the match, alongside Timberwolves forward Julius Randle.
