DENVER (AP) — Nikola Jokic had 38 factors, 10 rebounds and 5 steals to rally the Denver Nuggets to a 119-115 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night time.
Jokic fell 4 assists shy of his NBA-leading ninth triple-double of the season. The reigning league MVP remained tied with Magic Johnson for the third-most triple-doubles in NBA historical past with 138.
Michael Porter Jr. added 22 factors and Aaron Gordon had 15 factors and 9 rebounds for Denver.
The loss was the fifth in a row for Golden State following a 12-3 begin and means the Warriors will journey to Houston subsequent week for the NBA Cup quarterfinals.
