Going up against the Los Angeles Lakers deprived of both Luka Doncic and LeBron James, the Denver Nuggets fans sought a home victory last night, and they were satisfied with the 131-126 outcome.
While Jamal Murray and Russell Westbrook stole the show in the final moments of the game, respectively banking in a clutch three-pointer and stealing the ball from Los Angeles’ inbound last seconds, it was Nikola Jokic who led the team in scoring.
The Joker had yet again another huge offensive performance, finishing in style with 28 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals in Denver’s victory.
