- Jokic's Triple-Double Fuels Nuggets' Offensive Explosion in Win Over Hawks
- Another Jokic Triple-Double: Nuggets Extend Winning Streak with Dominant Performance
- Jokic's Triple-Double Leads Nuggets Past Hawks
Nikola Jokic continues to make the extraordinary look routine. The Denver Nuggets' superstar center delivered his 14th triple-double of the season, and third in four games, with a masterful performance of 23 points, 17 rebounds, and 15 assists, leading the Nuggets to a resounding 139-120 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night.
Jokic's court vision and passing were on full display, falling just one assist shy of his season-high. He orchestrated the Nuggets' offense to perfection, finding open teammates for easy baskets throughout the game. Denver's 44 assists, a season-high, were a testament to Jokic's playmaking brilliance and the team's overall unselfishness.
While Jokic was the conductor, the Nuggets had plenty of other contributors to their offensive symphony. Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray each poured in 21 points, while Russell Westbrook added 16 points and 11 assists. The Nuggets have now scored over 130 points in four consecutive games, showcasing their offensive firepower.
Despite a strong start, the Nuggets faced some resistance from the Hawks. Trae Young, who led Atlanta with 30 points and nine assists, kept his team within striking distance. However, Denver's dominant third quarter, fueled by a decisive 18-3 run, put the game out of reach.
This victory marks Denver's second win over Atlanta this season, having previously defeated them 141-111 on December 8th. With Jokic at the helm, the Nuggets continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the Western Conference.
