Tagbilaran City, Bohol – Nikola Jokic had his third triple-double of the season and 79th of his career to help the Denver Nuggets beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 122-110 Thursday night (Friday morning, Philippine time) at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, OK. The reigning back-to-back league MVP finished with 15 points, 13 rebounds, and 14 assists for the Nuggets, who improved to 5-3 on the win-loss column.
Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray took care of the scoring chores with 27 and 24 markers, respectively. Denver made 18 from deep and shot 58.1%, while OKC could only muster 6 threes and shot a measly 20.7% as a team from the rainbow territory.
