Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic dominates Houston Rockets Looking for revenge for their loss to the Houston Rockets a few games ago, the Denver Nuggets played a much bigger game on Wednesday night than their previous game against the Houston Rockets.
Nikola Jokic in particular dominated the game, posting 32 points, 15 assists, 10 rebounds, and a field rate of 63.
This is the third time in Jokic’s career that he has recorded at least 30 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds while shooting at least 60% from the field, the most in NBA history.
Jokic was previously tied with Magic Johnson and Wilt Chamberlain, who played in two games, for this grade, but the Nuggets star broke that tie with his performance Wednesday night.
The Nuggets needed this from Jokic as Jamal Murray played just 22 minutes after returning from injury and Aaron Gordon remained sidelined as well.
Jokic has shown that he can step up and produce performances like that when he has to shoulder a greater offensive load.
Jokic is the best passer in NBA history and holds several records as a center when it comes to passing ability, but as this latest statistic shows, he’s not limited to just one position.
It appears regularly on the list.
This was a big game for Jokic and a big win for Denver.
