Thanks to some big shot making down the stretch — and a poster dunk from Nikola Jokic — the Denver Nuggets were able to pull off a 118-112 victory over the Bulls in Chicago. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray played hero down the stretch as the Nuggets once 15-point lead almost slipped away from them, until it didn't.
Jokic led the Nuggets to victory falling just shy of his ninth triple-double of the season with 39 points, 14 rebounds, and nine assists on 17-of-28 shooting from the field. Not only was Jokic big all game, but he was massive in the fourth quarter as he scored 17 of his 39 points in the final quarter alone.
