Unfortunately, all Nets fans’ fear of seeing the Joker on Friday night came true. Nikola Jokic performed his usual tricks of the trade with an absurd statline of 35, 15, and 12, which led to a 124-105 win over Brooklyn despite a late game run. Russell Westbrook also turned back the hands of time with a triple double of his own, making history with Jokic as the first pair of teammates in NBA history to each record a triple double in the same game.
With all that being said, today is a new day. The Nets will be looking to serve revenge on a cold platter against the Utah Jazz, who defeated them back in December 104-95.
