Nikola Jokic's late block of OG Anunoby's follow-up with second to go helped the Denver Nuggets beat the Toronto Raptors, 110-109, and snap the Raptors eight-game winning streak.
Jokic had missed a pair of free throws with the Nuggets by a point with 12.8 seconds left. But he atoned for those misses with the block on Anunoby, who was trying to score after Fred VanVleet missed a three-pointer.
Jokic finished with 28 points, 15 rebounds and six assists. Jeff Green scored 19 points. Aaron Gordon had 13 points and six rebounds.
