The Utah Jazz did not have enough to beat the Denver Nuggets tonight, who won 132 -121. Nikola Jokic and Russell Westbrook both had triple-doubles that were too much for the developing Jaz to overcome. Jokic had an unbelievable performance with 36 points, 23 rebounds, and 10 assists. They’re just bonkers numbers for the player most likely to be a top candidate for MVP again.
For the Utah Jazz, they have to be happy with the outcome. Not only are they getting closer to potentially adding franchise-altering talent, but they are also seeing nice development from their rookies.
