Nobody could hear a word Adam Silver was saying, but the speech was probably nice. On a night Ball Arena drowned out the NBA commissioner’s presentation of Nikola Jokic’s third MVP award with “M-V-P” chants, Jokic proceeded to give Silver a treat.

Hopefully, they can.” Hopefully. The Avs are in trouble deep without him, limping into Game 5 of their best-of-seven playoff series with the Dallas Stars on Wednesday on a three-game losing skid while staring at a 3-1 hole.
