Nikola Joki\u0107 doesn&#8217;t have that problem, as he reached a triple-double by the end of the third quarter, the 133rd of his career in the regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were once again moves to enjoy, just the way Nikola likes to provide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Russell Westbrook continues to make fantastic entry passes to Nikola Joki\u0107 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Fw5vreov4N\">pic.twitter.com\/Fw5vreov4N<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Matt Brooks (@MattBrooksNBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattBrooksNBA\/status\/1853648948612759626?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 5, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"fi\" dir=\"ltr\">Yes Nikola Joki\u0107 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BvaMiaZjBt\">pic.twitter.com\/BvaMiaZjBt<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Tatiana (@Tatianaclinares) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Tatianaclinares\/status\/1853649700194275694?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 5, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"ro\" dir=\"ltr\">The Nikola Joki\u0107 special <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GlIUxchiSQ\">pic.twitter.com\/GlIUxchiSQ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Tatiana (@Tatianaclinares) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Tatianaclinares\/status\/1853657633309290518?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 5, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jokic catching bodies NOW? \ud83e\udd2f (via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NBA<\/a>)<br><br> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/beUsuhCcNw\">pic.twitter.com\/beUsuhCcNw<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Overtime (@overtime) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/overtime\/status\/1853636933597184235?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 5, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Darko Rajakovi\u0107 knew how to respond to all of Joki\u0107&#8217;s moves. Toronto took the lead at the end of the first quarter and controlled the game for a long time, finally reaching a double-digit lead in the third quarter.

The victory was snatched by a lineup that was not expected to do so \u2013 Joki\u0107 drew up plays for the reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the end, Joki\u0107 had 28 points, 14 rebounds, and 14 assists in 38 minutes on the court.

In Toronto, VanVleet scored 26 points, Poeltl had 24 points with 10 rebounds and three assists, and Barnes added 18 points, seven rebounds, and nine assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nikola Joki\u0107 Drops Another Triple-Double in Nuggets W! \ud83d\udd25| November 4, 2024\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1ulZ1axypu8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Westbrook followed him accordingly, with 21 points, six rebounds, and six assists, shooting 6\/10 from the field (1\/5 from three-point range), while Porter added 19 points.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Toronto, VanVleet scored 26 points, Poeltl had 24 points with 10 rebounds and three assists.
