Recap: Nuggets defense fails against Nets in 135-130 loss

Nikola Jokic picked up his tenth triple-double of the season, but it wasn’t enough for the Nuggets to pick up a win on the road against the Brooklyn Nets.

The Nuggets got a double-double from Jamal Murray in his first game back after sitting out a couple games with an ankle injury, with 19 points and 11 rebounds. But the Nuggets defense was horrendous in the second quarter, flipping a double digit lead into a double digit deficit, and the Nuggets weren’t able to recover.

The Nets finished with a season-high 36 assists on 46 shots, with 19 3-pointers, a game after the Pistons set season highs in assists and made 3-pointers.
