DENVER — On a cold, blustery day in the Mile High City, the Denver Nuggets needed a spark to light a fire in the cavernous and mostly empty Pepsi Center.
That spark came in the form of a 6-foot-11 Serbian by the name of Nikola Jokic, who at just 20-years-old has filled that role more than once already this season, and tonight carried Denver to a 112-93 win over the Toronto Raptors — who came into Denver winners of 11 in a row.
After scoring in double figures each of his last two game, Jokic didn’t let up tonight against a Toronto defense that held the No.
