Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets blew out Kevin Durant and the Suns in Tuesday night’s pivotal Game 5 and are now a win away from advancing to the conference finals.

Jokić, the two-time reigning NBA MVP, had another monster night for Denver, finishing with 29 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists. His triple-double moved him ahead of Wilt Chamberlain for the most by a center in the playoffs. 

Ernie Johnson gave him that news during a live postgame interview with the NBA on TNT crew and Jokić took a playoff shot at Shaq about it. The NBA legend was ready for it and had a perfect response:

"Nope, because I never passed, Big Honey."

Too good. 

Game 6 of this series is Thursday night at 10 p.m. ET.
