On Monday night, the Denver Nuggets blew out the Miami Heat, then added injury to insult when Nikola Jokic took a violent cheap shot at Heat forward Markieff Morris.
When Jokic saw a clip of the incident, he had an interesting reaction.

Nikola Jokic: "I don't know who showed me the clip but [Morris'] head snapped back. I felt really bad."

The Heat played poorly in Colorado, especially on the offensive end. They also allowed Jokic to post a triple-double with 25 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists.
Will Barton also went off for 25 points on 9-of-14 shooting from the field and 7-of-9 from 3-point range.
Jimmy Butler scored 31 for the Heat, but no one else lit it up for them.
Kyle Lowry had a particularly bad game, going scoreless and missing each of his eight shot attempts, six of which were from beyond the arc.
With a 7-3 record, Miami is tied for the second-best record in the Eastern Conference. It will head to Southern California to face off against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday evening.
