The Nuggets rolled into Sacramento and picked up right where they left off.
Rested and ready, the Nuggets pummeled the Kings 128-110 on Thursday night in their first game back from the All-Star break. It marked Denver’s sixth win in seven games, with a chance to stretch their run again on Saturday, at home, against these same Kings.
Nikola Jokic flirted with his 16th triple-double of the season but came up one assist shy. He finished the rout with 25 points, 12 rebounds, nine assists and four steals. His precise passing carved up Sacramento’s defense, and the Nuggets tallied 30 as a team.
