Rarely, if ever, has he been so outright demonstrative and disrespectful to officials.But Friday night’s Game 3, with a chance to seize a commanding 3-0 lead over Minnesota, warranted such overt gesticulations.“If something is obvious, I just like to say it’s obvious,” Jokic said delicately, after polishing off a 20-point, 12-assist, 11-rebound triple-double that featured no trips to the free-throw line.Assessing Jokic’s night, Nuggets coach Michael Malone formed a zero with his fingers and peered through the hole to represent his astonishment at the unique feat.But Jokic doesn’t show up the officials, risking his reputation and a technical foul, if he and the Nuggets didn’t intend to crus...
