Highlights: Nikola Jokic’s triple-double leads Nuggets past Hornets

The Denver Nuggets picked up a massive 113-109 road victory over the Charlotte Hornets last night and Nikola Jokic’s 19th triple-double of the season was a massive reason why. It was another dominating performance by the Nuggets superstar big man as Jokic scored 26 points on 9-of-17 shooting from the field to go along with 19 rebounds and 11 assists.

Jokic also recorded two steals and posted the highest +/- (+21) of any player on either team. For his career, Jokic now has 76 triple-doubles, which is good for seventh all-time. Jokic is just two triple-doubles behind Wilt Chamberlain for sixth all-time and with six games remaining in the regular season it feels like he has a solid chance of catching him before things are all said and done.
