Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic set the pace; wild MVP race looming

Luka Doncic had 60 points and 21 rebounds and 10 assists on Tuesday, a stat line never seen before in NBA history. Nikola Jokic had 41 points and 15 rebounds and 15 assists on Sunday, a stat line that was managed on only two other occasions.

Two amazing games without a single dunk.

The two best players in the NBA right now — and likely the current frontrunners in the MVP race — do not play with LeBron James’ strength and force, or with Michael Jordan’s acrobatic creativity, or with Wilt Chamberlain’s ability to just overmatch anyone who dared to stand near his path.
