Nikola Jokic Bags 21st Triple-Double Of The Season
1 day agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic posted his 21st triple-double of the season in Monday's 129-121 loss to the Chicago Bulls. He led all scorers with 33 points on 15-for-21 shooting, dished out a game-high 14 assists, and was also the best rebounder in the game with 12 boards. Jokic added a steal and a block to his tally on the defensive end. The three-time MVP continues to toy with the opposition on most nights and looks ready to start another triple-double streak after a five-game run ended for him on Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. In the next matchup, he will go up against Karl-Anthony Towns and the New York Knicks. Towns managed to outshine Jokic in this season's first head-to-head clash, as the Nuggets superstar settled for 22 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists in a blowout loss.
