On the back end of a back-to-back and missing half of their starters, the Utah Jazz put up an impressive fight against the Denver Nuggets.
Nikola Jokic was dominant with a monster triple-double. Jokic ended the game with 31 points, 14 assists, and 12 rebounds. The Jazz have had a very good offense all season but have also really struggled to defend this season. Jokic is the former MVP and will put up big numbers against anyone, but he seemed to toy with Utah’s defenders inside. He’s a truly gifted offensive player.
The other Nugget to have a big night was Jamal Murray.
