Although the team from Denver, whose member is Nurkić, lost in Memphis, the BiH national team player performed solidly and demonstrated the splendor of his talent. In this match, he recorded nearly all statistically relevant parameters.
The end result of this match was 108:107 and popular Juka added 11 points to the total number of points of his team, by scoring five times from seven attempts in less than half an hour, which is the time he spent on the court. In addition to that, he made seven rebounds, one of which was in the attack field, and three assists.
However, the most interesting part of his statistic was the blockades, actually the single blockade he made during the match, but the one which delighted the fans of NBA basketball. At the beginning of the match, during one action by the Grizzlies, Zach Randolph headed towards the hoop of the Denver team, but the BiH national team player made it there before him.
The commentator was shouting “no way” in Bosnian language, and spectators enjoyed the move that you can see in the video below.
