Friday's marquee meeting between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets came to a head in the fourth quarter when Lu Dort and Nikola Jokic got into a physical altercation.
Dort was ejected for his roughing foul, while Jokic and Jaylin Williams, who were involved in the fight, were each called for technical fouls. The Thunder defeated the Nuggets 127–121 in overtime.
A day later, Williams shared several photos from the competition on Instagram, including one of her being restrained by her coaches. She captioned the post, "Yeah, okay."
He was immediately mocked by Nuggets fans.
"Imagine Nikola Jokic running to Instagram to post after a fight in a game," @NuggetsLead said, adding a screenshot of Williams' post.

"Jokic will never happen. So disgusting," @JB_DenverSports echoed.
“This is the biggest moment of his career,” @DDelgado38697 said.
"Jokic by 1st round KO," @ashebabes wrote, adding a photo of Jokic that quickly became a meme.

"They're a bunch of unlikeable guys like the Thunder team," @cammart32 posted.
@Ballknower240 said, "And them all reposting it is really bullshit."
Williams had a strong game against the Nuggets, scoring 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting, including two three-pointers, five rebounds, three assists and a block in 26 minutes off the bench. He also helped limit Jokic to 9-of-25 shooting.
The three-time MVP finished with 23 points, 17 rebounds and 14 assists.
The Thunder, who are looking to defend their title, have won the first two faceoffs against the Nuggets this season. They will meet again on March 9 and April 10.
After their heated feud, a bitter rivalry could form, especially after Oklahoma City defeated Denver in the second round of the playoffs last season.
