Denver triumphed in a tough road game in Phoenix, and Nikola Joki\u0107 was once again doing wonders. The Serbian national team member did not miss a single shot from the field, finishing the game with 26 points, and for the second game in a row he was one rebound short of achieving a triple-double in the 130\u2013112 win over the Suns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jokara made all 7 of his shots (2\u20132 from three), had 10 assists and, as mentioned, 9 rebounds to complete the Sombor variant of the triple-double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Denver distributed the scoring perfectly, with 6 players finishing in double figures. Murray scored 24 points (4 ast), the increasingly impressive Hardaway had 23, Jones \u2014 the surprise from the bench who became a member of the starting five \u2014 scored 16 along with 9 rebounds, and Cameron Johnson added 15 (4 ast, 4 reb).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the defeated Phoenix team, the best were Canadian Dillon Brooks with 27, and Devin Booker with 24 (7 ast, 4 reb).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
