Nikola Jokić delivered an outstanding performance as the Denver Nuggets secured a 133–128 preseason victory over the Chicago Bulls, recording a triple-double in just three quarters of action.
The Serbian center finished with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, demonstrating his all-round influence on the game. Jokić controlled the offence with his scoring and playmaking, helping Denver edge past Chicago in a high-scoring contest.
Aaron Gordon also played a key role in the Nuggets’ victory, contributing 25 points, six rebounds and three three-pointers. Cameron Johnson added 15 points, two steals and four three-pointers, providing further support as Denver secured the win.
Despite the defeat, Chicago managed to keep the contest competitive, scoring 128 points against a Denver side that found enough answers offensively to finish five points ahead.
The performance from Jokić will be an encouraging sign for the Nuggets as they continue their preparations for the upcoming NBA season. His ability to impact games as a scorer, rebounder and playmaker remains central to Denver’s ambitions.
Although preseason results carry limited weight ahead of the regular season, Denver will take confidence from the victory and the strong contributions of its leading players.
