CHICAGO — Nikola Jokic went for 33 points and 14 assists, but the Nuggets dropped their second consecutive game on the road, 128-121 to the Bulls on Monday night.
Chicago was 45% from the 3-point line on 53 attempts. Denver (28-18) was 22% on 27 attempts. Next up is the Knicks on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden, a rematch after New York scored 144 on Denver earlier this season at Ball Arena.
The Bulls seized control with a 12-0 run late in the third quarter, taking a 90-88 lead after Denver’s only made field goals from the eight-minute mark to the two-minute mark were three dunks and a layup.
