#3 – JOKIC’S HISTORIC TRIPLE-DOUBLE LEADS NUGGETS TO VICTORY OVER KINGS

Nikola Jokic delivered a historic performance in the Denver Nuggets’ 132-123 victory over the Sacramento Kings, recording 35 points, 22 rebounds, and 17 assists—numbers never before achieved in NBA history. The Nuggets, who have now won four straight games and 12 of their last 15, built a commanding 25-point lead thanks to Jokic’s dominance, strong defensive efforts by Christian Braun and Peyton Watson, and solid contributions from Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., and Russell Westbrook. Despite a late fourth-quarter rally by the Kings, Denver held on to secure the win, with Jokic stabilizing the team when needed. On the season, Jokic is averaging a triple-double and continues to be the driving force behind Denver’s success, solidifying his case as one of the league’s most valuable players. Did you see that shot that he made 66 feet away?? His quote- “I knew it was going in.”
