Jokic fools Dubs, upsets Kerr with unexpected assist

In the first quarter of the Warriors' clash with the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night, there were two timeouts called within five seconds.

Why? Due to the brilliance of Nikola Jokic.

The Nuggets took a full timeout with 6:53 remaining in the opening frame. When the buzzer sounded to signal the end of the break, Jokic grabbed the basketball from the referee and hurled a dime to his teammate Aaron Gordon down the floor, who slammed it in for a quick two points.

The Warriors weren't ready. In fact, they were barely on the court following the timeout.

Coach Steve Kerr was livid, and he called timeout to speak with his team and the referees immediately after Gordon's dunk.
