One day after beating the Toronto Raptors at home in an agonizing overtime (127-125), the Denver Nuggets added a new victory in another added time. After giving a performance with 40 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists against the Canadians, Nikola Jokic once again put his team behind him to win in the fiefdom of the Brooklyn Nets.
The Serbian shone with an impeccable record of 29 points, 18 rebounds and 16 assists. The reigning NBA MVP became the only one to achieve at least those numbers in a single game since Oscar Robertson 62 years ago.
The Brooklyn Nets coach, Jordi Fernández, has positively valued the good performance of his team. “The fact that we fought against a team like this means a lot to me and we know that the next step will help us make our way not only against a good team but against a great team (the Nuggets) with an incredible player who had a performance today incredible,” said the Spanish coach.
On the other hand, Luka Doncic led the Dallas Mavericks in their 114-120 away victory at the home of the Minnesota Timberwolves, with 24 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists. The Slovenian gave a scare at the end of the second quarter when he hurt the back of his knee and left limping. Despite the blow, the point guard scored 11 decisive points in the last quarter, including the triple that sealed the contest.
Traveling to Salt Lake City, the Utah Jazz fell to the Sacramento Kings 96-113 and suffered their fourth loss in four league games. For the Californian team, Domantas Sabonis was dominant, with an impressive performance of 28 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists. The locals had to deal with another bad news due to the serious injury of Taylor Hendricks, who fractured his fibula and dislocated his ankle in a fall. The Florida point guard will miss the entire season.
In San Francisco, the Golden State Warriors defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 124-106 in an adverse context. Steve Kerr’s team arrived without being able to count on the presence of Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins, and they were down 20 points in the first minutes of the second quarter. However, Buddy Hield (28 points and 7/11 in triples) and Lindy Waters III (21 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists) were in charge of rescuing the Warriors and going 3-1 in the regular season.
