(VIDEO)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Serbian center Nikola Joki\u0107 was once again the key figure in Denver\u2019s victory over Minnesota, 123\u2013112. He recorded another triple-double performance, even on a night that wasn\u2019t one of his most dominant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joki\u0107, true, did not score 55 points, but he once again proved his versatility. He finished the game with 27 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists, thus securing his seventh triple-double of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His contribution, along with excellent roles from Tim Hardaway Jr. and Aaron Gordon, was crucial for the Nuggets\u2019 second win over the Timberwolves in a short span. The only blemish on his game were six turnovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game unfolded in runs for both teams. <strong>Denver<\/strong>, thanks to its zone defense and Joki\u0107\u2019s playmaking, gained an early 12-point lead (17\u20135). The Nuggets maintained a double-digit advantage until the late stages of the first quarter, when Julius Randle sparked Minnesota, which managed to turn the score around by the end of the period (31\u201329).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joker&#39;d \ud83c\udccf <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WrWwgkVH6I\">pic.twitter.com\/WrWwgkVH6I<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Denver Nuggets (@nuggets) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nuggets\/status\/1989923817263923586?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 16, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>The second quarter brought a balanced battle with teams exchanging the lead. Coach David Adelman tried pairing Jonas Valan\u010di\u016bnas with Joki\u0107, but it did not yield a significant advantage. The Timberwolves once again played the closing minutes better and went into halftime with a five-point lead (60\u201355).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it seemed Minnesota was taking control, Tim Hardaway Jr. stepped up. The former Dallas player scored 13 points in the third quarter while Joki\u0107 was on the bench, completely shifting the momentum and restoring the lead to Denver (87\u201386).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">P-Wat, now leaving the paint \ud83d\udeeb <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vFsmX1zu4L\">pic.twitter.com\/vFsmX1zu4L<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Denver Nuggets (@nuggets) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nuggets\/status\/1989897391550648562?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 16, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>In the final period, Denver delivered the decisive blow. Returning to zone defense and with an energized Joki\u0107\u2014who scored without forcing and distributed assists\u2014the Nuggets sealed the game. Anthony Edwards\u2019 attempt to bring back suspense with five straight points failed, as Joki\u0107 and Gordon had answers to every Timberwolves attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nikola Jokic  27 Pts  11 Reb  11 Ast Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves HIGHLIGHTS\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2LxCF5WMf0g?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<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/we-must-not-allow-new-victims-medical-science-students-called-on-dijana-hrka-to-suspend-her-hunger-strike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cWE MUST NOT ALLOW NEW VICTIMS\u201d: Medical science students called on Dijana Hrka to suspend her hunger strike!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/state-department-says-removing-russian-control-over-nis-increases-serbias-energy-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS: \u201cRemoving Russian control over NIS increases Serbia\u2019s energy security\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-serbian-is-the-world-champion-jovan-cvetanovic-defeated-the-frenchman-in-the-final-and-won-gold-in-jiu-jitsu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">THE SERBIAN IS THE WORLD CHAMPION: Jovan Cvetanovi\u0107 defeated the Frenchman in the final and won gold in jiu-jitsu!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/professor-joler-resigned-after-20-years-due-to-police-repression-and-violation-of-autonomy-he-left-the-novi-sad-academy-of-arts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">PROFESSOR JOLER RESIGNED AFTER 20 YEARS: Due to police repression and violation of autonomy, he left the Novi Sad Academy of Arts!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/today-is-the-holy-unmercenary-healers-day-on-this-day-it-is-good-to-do-heavy-work-be-sure-to-read-this-prayer-for-healing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">TODAY IS THE HOLY UNMERCENARY HEALERS DAY: On this day, it is good to do heavy work, be sure to read this prayer for healing!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> Sportal <strong>Foto: <\/strong>Foto Imagn Images, ddp USA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serbian center Nikola Joki\u0107 was once again the key figure in Denver\u2019s victory over Minnesota, 123\u2013112.
