Nikola Jokic, the center of the Denver Nuggets, came close to a triple-double performance in their victory over the Chicago Bulls.
The current champions are currently looking unstoppable. They have the most wins in the entire NBA league at the moment, and they added another one last night. They defeated the Chicago Bulls with a score of 123:101 at the Ball Arena. The Serbian center’s performance stood out.
Jokic had 28 points, 16 rebounds, and nine assists, showing that he is the top candidate for the MVP award this season. He was followed by Michael Porter Jr., who scored one point less than Jokic. On the other side, Nikola Vucevic stood out with 19 points.
Last night, Bogdan Bogdanovic played in the Atlanta Hawks’ victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. The captain of the Serbian national team didn’t have a standout performance in this game. He shot 4/14 from the field, including 2/10 from beyond the three-point line.
He finished the game with ten points, five rebounds, and two assists. Among his teammates, Trae Young stood out with 22 points and 12 assists, followed by Jalen Johnson, who had one point less. On the other side, Zion Williamson had a strong performance, ending the game with 25 points.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the Los Angeles Lakers were defeated by the Orlando Magic 120:101. German international Franz Wagner stood out with 26 points, and the combined 52 points from LeBron James and Anthony Davis were not enough for the Lakers to secure a victory. Among other results, we have:
- Charlotte Hornets 125:124 Indiana Pacers
- Boston Celtics 124:114 Brooklyn Nets
- Houston Rockets 107:89 Sacramento Kings
- Minnesota Timberwolves 123:95 Utah Jazz
Nikola Jokic and his team will play their next game against New Orleans, while Atlanta will face the Oklahoma City Thunder. Tonight, we’ll also have the opportunity to watch Toronto, coached by Darko Rajakovic, at 21:30, as they face the San Antonio Spurs.
