Nikola Jokic is writing history in almost every game that he is playing and that happened again today despite the loss to the Utah Jazz.
Despite the heavy loss, the Serbian center has etched his name in to the history books again. He became the youngest player to have over 13k points, 6k rebounds and 4 thousand assists. Behind him is only the star of the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James. Nikola Jokic finished the game with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists. However, it was not enough for the victory because Jordan Clarkson and Lauri Markkanen, in particular, were inspired, scoring 27 and 26 points, respectively. The “Jazz-men” triumphed in this match with a score of 124:111.
The duo of the Boston Celtics, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for a staggering 80 (Tatum scored 45, Brown 35) points against one of the NBA’s best defences. There was an overtime period in this crazy game, but the home team managed to overcome it and defeat the visitors from Minneapolis 127:120.
Some Serbian players left a great mark in around the NBA last night. Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Miami Heat. Nikola Jovic was efficient in this game, scoring 15 points, grabbing five rebounds, and providing four assists (shooting 5/8 from the field).
