The Denver Nuggets had a historically good 79-point first half against the Utah Jazz and beat them easily 128-117.
Nikola Jokic was the story of this game. Jokic absolutely handled Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors to the tune of 47 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in a dominating performance.
In the first half it wasn’t just Jokic, as a team the Nuggets shot 15/17 from three in the first half and never looked back. People will look at that and wonder what the Jazz were doing and the answer is not much.
