Nikola Jokic recorded his 100th career triple-double on Tuesday night, but Jamal Murray was the star for the Denver Nuggets.
Murray played his best game since early February in the Nuggets’ 133-112 blowout win over the Houston Rockets. The former Kentucky Wildcat popped off for 32 points, four rebounds, and six assists on 12-18 shooting from the field overall, including a 5-10 clip from long range, in just 31 minutes of action. Jokic added 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists to the cause, his league-leading 24th triple-double of the season.
23 of Murray’s 32 points came in the first half, his most of the season.
