Denver Nuggets defeated the San Antonio Spurs with a score of 132:120, and Nikola Jokic delivered a masterful performance.
In contrast to numerous previous games, Denver Nuggets finally managed to “put the opponent in the machine” at the right time, maintaining a stable lead for most of the match. The lead for Mike Malone’s team even reached up to plus 28, and the most deserving for such play from the current NBA champions was none other than Nikola Jokic.
The Serbian basketball player spent 34 minutes on the court, which was enough for him to record 39 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists, coming close once again to a triple-double performance. Jokic was accompanied by Michael Porter Jr. with 25 points and Reggie Jackson with 20 points.
On the other side, the promising Victor Wembanyama delivered an excellent performance, finishing the game with 22 points and 11 rebounds.
Denver Nuggets are currently fourth in the Western Conference standings with a record of 11 wins and 6 losses, while San Antonio is at the bottom with a record of 3-14.
Nuggets will continue their battle to reclaim the top spot on the table in less than 24 hours when they face the Los Angeles Clippers on the road, while the San Antonio Spurs, seeking improvement, will have a matchup against the Atlanta Hawks.
