Without a tooth, without a driver’s license, an unlikely hero emerged in Game 6 of a playoff series that belongs among the classics.

Jokic scored 29 and got help, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 32 but his running mates had an off night, so there will be a Game 7 Sunday.

Putting the ball on the deck, Holmgren had some of his best finishes of the playoff series in this Game 6 loss. Alas, it went to waste. The 23-year-old needed to complement his fancy drives to the basket with good outside shooting on decent looks.
