Nikola Jokic Bags Another Triple-Double
4 years agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic posted his fourth triple-double of the season on Sunday, notching 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists in an easy 124-109 win over Minnesota. The Joker was also close to a quadruple-double with seven turnovers but his poor ball-handling didn't cost his team much, as he ended up with a game-high plus-27 rating. Jokic, who shot 8-for-12 on Sunday, looks pretty much unstoppable right now, certainly for defensively-challenged teams like the Timberwolves, who the Nuggets will face again on Tuesday. The next couple of games after that vs. Dallas and Philly will be much tougher, as both sides sit in the top-six in defensive efficiency.
