Nikola Jokic played another game for others, for his teammates, with the obvious intention of getting them into a maximum rhythm before the upcoming NBA playoffs. The result was an easy away victory against one of the worst teams in the league, the Utah Jazz, 130:117!
The one who benefited most from this style of play was his companion Jamal Murray, who circled around Jokic’s screens tonight and filled the basket of the team from the Mormon capital.
In the end, Murray scored a full 37 points (5reb, 5ast), while the Serbian national team player recorded 15 on his account (5-10 shooting), grabbed 17 rebounds, and distributed 12 assists, enough for his 32nd triple-double of the season!
There were a total of seven players in double figures for the Nuggets, which shows that a selfless, team game was played.
On the other hand, among the sorrowful Jazzers, Sensabaugh with 28 and Filipowski with 25 points (12reb) stood out.
The Colorado team is still fourth in the West, with one less win and two more losses than the Lakers.
In the next match, Denver will have the opportunity to show its true strength as the mighty San Antonio, playing like a team reborn this season, comes to visit, and the game is scheduled for Saturday.
