MEXICO CITY – Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets are used to the altitude of their home and there weren’t dizzy in the NBA Mexico City Game 2026.
Playing in higher altitude than Denver, since Mexico City is 2.240 meters above sea level, the Nuggets (5-3) got the 114-102 win over the Indiana Pacers (3-7).
Jokic led the way just missing triple-double of 19 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists, as his team led by 27 points in the first half and never looked back.
Tyrese Haliburton was out due to injury and without him Indiana made it a seven-point game (102-95) in the fourth period, but couldn’t get any closer.
Pascal Siakam with 23 points was the top scorer of the Pacers.
