The Nuggets took care of business against the T-Wolves tonight in a 93-91 win on the road. Jokic played phenomenally and was the leading scorer with 26 points. He finished 3 assists shy of a triple double as well. Bones Hyland also made his longest appearance in a Nuggets uniform logging 18 minutes. The highlight of the game was without a doubt the Will Barton game-saving block.
A good sight for Nuggets fans is that Nikola Jokic was playing aggressively and didn’t look to be bothered by his knee at all. Malone closed the first quarter off with the bench unit featuring Will Barton again and it didn’t work, the T-Wolves go on a 9-2 run to end the quarter.
