Two thrilling matchups highlighted the NBA scene on April 1st, with Nikola Jokic breaking records and Steph Curry dazzling fans. Jokic's career-high 61 points led the Denver Nuggets to an agonizing double-overtime loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who capitalized on late-game mistakes by Russell Westbrook. Meanwhile, Steph Curry erupted for 52 points, including 12 three-pointers, as the Golden State Warriors overcame the Memphis Grizzlies, showcasing their newly bolstered defense and offensive prowess.

Jokic's near quadruple-double was overshadowed by the Timberwolves' resilience, particularly Anthony Edwards' explosive performance in the final minutes. The Warriors displayed their championship grit as they pulled off a comeback, propelled by Curry's stellar shooting, which has made him a top fantasy asset this season. Both games underscore the importance of individual performances in the final stretch of the season, as playoff positions tighten.
