This was a great team effort for the Denver Nuggets with Nikola Jokic returning to captain the boat and landing his first triple double: 20 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists in 32 minutes.
After Denver was leading by 22 points in the third quarter, the big one almost got away; the Bucks were difficult to reel in. They fought until the end and got within one.
But the Nuggets are learning how to hold on to the line from the experiences they had early on. Let’s hope the line isn’t breaking on these fish anymore!
