Nikola Jokić is playing unreal basketball this season as well, and if he continues like this, it could easily happen that he will be voted the most valuable (MVP) player of the strongest basketball league in the world for the fourth time in his career. If you don’t believe it, ask Detroit how they fared against the Serbian in Denver’s victory between Friday and Saturday Central European Time.
It doesn’t always happen that the popular Joker combines the beautiful and the useful, that is, that his triple-double is an important decoration in the victory of the team from Colorado, as was the case this time, when for the second day in a row he had double-digit performances in the three most important statistical columns. Specifically, he scored 23 points (6/12 from the field, 0/3 for three, 11/12 free throws), achieved 17 rebounds and collected 15 assists, along with one steal and two blocks.

Denver was in the lead from the start, so they finished the first quarter with an eight-point lead, and at the end of the half they had +5. In the third quarter, they “crushed” their rival. With a 15:0 run, they pulled away to a maximum of 25 points difference, and with a 20-point difference at the end of that period, they definitely paved the way to another triumph.
This was the 39th victory of the season for the Nuggets, who are expecting another match against the current champion Boston on their tour of the East Coast. That match is scheduled in the European term, on Sunday from 7 p.m.
