Nikola Jokic, in his usual fashion, has once again achieved a triple-double, setting new records along the way! This time, he did it against the Sacramento Kings, in a big home win of 132-123. He had 35 points, 22 rebounds, and 17 assists in 37 minutes and 22 seconds on the court.  

Denver has been on a great run, winning seven of the eight games before this match, only losing to Houston, and Nikola Jokic’s numbers were impressive. In the last four games before this match, he had a triple-double, and each was achieved in the third quarter, he didn’t even play the fourth. Jokic only missed that game against Houston, and he was just one assist away from a streak of seven games with a triple-double!

During this game, Jokic was also officially named an All-Star, and as if the new triple-double magic in 3/4 quarters wasn’t enough, he decided to spice everything up with a full-court three-pointer. Even before this game, the NBA announced that Jokic was the first in history to have a triple-double in four consecutive games while playing less than 36 minutes in each game, now he’s pushed it one more game.

Against the Kings, everything seemed to be going smoothly, Denver opened the last quarter with a +23 lead, but managed to reduce the difference to 126-121. In crucial moments, the Westbrook-Jokic duo played brilliantly, once again paving the way to victory.

In the meantime, it was also announced that Jokic is the first player with 31 points, 22 rebounds, and 17 assists since Wilt Chamberlain in 1968 – just one in a sea of records for the best basketball player on the planet.
