The Nuggets struggled against the Rockets on Wednesday, but a return to Pepsi Center and a dominant performance by Nikola Jokic helped the team overcome the Grizzlies.
Jokic put up 28 points on 17 shots, grabbed 13 rebounds, and dished out 8 assists. He wasn’t as prolific in terms of assists when compared to his opponent, Marc Gasol, who finished with a career-high 14 assists, but the Nuggets won the game.
Jokic was his usual self, dishing the ball to his teammates, running the offense, and arcing in beautiful jumpers.
