The three-time MVP also made NBA history.

Via StatMamba: “Nikola Jokic recorded a triple-double in 20:38 of playing time tonight — the 9th fastest EVER.

He still holds the record for the fastest (14:33).”

Jokic entered play with averages of 28.8 points, 12.8 rebounds, 10.4 assists and 1.8 steals per contest while shooting 57.6% from the field and 43.9% from the three-point range in 56 games.

Via The NBA: “Nikola Jokić wide open 3.
Jamal Murray STEAL & STUFF.

Nuggets duo taking care of business early on ESPN!”

The Nuggets are the third seed in the Western Conference with a 40-22 record in 62 games.

They have gone 7-3 over their last ten.

Following their showdown with the Suns, the Nuggets will play the Oklahoma City Thunder (in Oklahoma) on Sunday afternoon.

Via Former Nuggets Coach George Karl: “I’m liking the upcoming back-to-back Nuggets v Thunder match up!

Both games will have a playoff feel. The coaches will want to win but also find things out to exploit the other team in the future!

I predict a split and a lot of learnings if there isn’t any BS load management.”

Jokic is in his 10th NBA season (all with the Nuggets).
