Nikola Jokic Misses 30-Point Triple-Double By One Assist
1 year agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic opened the in-season tournament with a near 30-point triple-double on Friday, posting 33 points, 14 rebounds, and nine assists in a 125-114 victory over Dallas. He missed just two of his 16 efforts from the field and already had 20 points by halftime. Jokic added one steal and one block in 36 minutes. It was another historic outing for the former MVP, as Jokic became the first player in Nuggets history to kick off a season with six straight games with 20-plus points and 10-plus rebounds. He makes everything look easy on the court, and the streak might continue for quite a while, with Jokic averaging 27.3 points and 12.2 rebounds at the start of the season with 7.7 assists.
