Nikola Jokic Has Another 20-20 Game
3 years agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic went for a second consecutive 20-20 game on Sunday against the Clippers, leading his team to a 103-100 victory with 26 points and 22 rebounds. He added eight assists, becoming the first player since Charles Barkley in 1988 to put up 25-plus points, 20-plus rebounds and five-plus assists in consecutive games. Jokic also notched two steals and two blocks but his shot didn't want to drop again. After going 13-for-34 from the field in the previous matchup against Charlotte, Jokic ended up shooting 9-for-24 with a 1-for-3 effort from deep. The league-leading Warriors are waiting for the MVP now. Golden State has limited centers to a league-low 47.9 percent shooting this season, so Jokic could have another frustrating shooting night, but scoring is only one part of his game, and he should cruise to another big line.
