Nikola Jokic turned in a video game-like stat line with 8 points, 5 assists, and 20 rebounds (in just three quarters) as the Denver Nuggets comfortably took care of the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night, winning 117-104.
Jordan McRae scored a team-high 21 points (17 in the fourth quarter) for Washington while Bradley Beal and Davis Bertans scored 14 each, but the Nuggets took control with a 39-24 second quarter and kept Washington at bay the rest of the night.
Washington was able to hold Denver to just 25 points in the first quarter as they were somewhat engaged defensively and the Nuggets missed some open looks.
