Nikola Jokic Records 201st Career Triple-Double as Nuggets Crush Raptors
Nikola Jokic continued to strengthen his reputation as one of the NBA’s most complete players after recording his 201st career triple-double in the Denver Nuggets’ 128-109 victory over the Toronto Raptors.
The Serbian superstar finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, delivering another outstanding performance to guide Denver to a comfortable 19-point win.
Jokic reached the triple-double milestone before the end of the third quarter, recording his 90th triple-double before the final period of a game. It was another demonstration of his ability to influence almost every aspect of the contest.
The three-time NBA MVP also added three steals, making his contribution even more impressive.
Denver’s offence proved difficult for Toronto to handle, with the Nuggets finding their rhythm and gradually pulling away from their opponents.
The Raptors managed 109 points but were unable to match Denver’s attacking quality, eventually falling to a 128-109 defeat.
For Jokic, the latest milestone adds another remarkable chapter to an already extraordinary career. His combination of scoring, rebounding and playmaking continues to make him one of the most difficult players in the league to defend.
