Jokic's 34th triple-double of the season (14/15/10 in 31 minutes) pushed Denver past Memphis 136-119.
Nikola Jokic recorded his 34th triple-double of the season — 14 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists in just 31 minutes — as the Nuggets demolished the Grizzlies 136-119 for their 10th consecutive win. He didn't even play in the fourth quarter.
This is the longest winning streak in the Jokic era and Denver's best run since a 15-game streak back in February-March 2013. During the 10-game streak, Jokic has averaged 25.2 points, 14.5 rebounds, and 12.7 assists. Those numbers are genuinely absurd — he's averaging a triple-double over a stretch where the team hasn't lost.
The Nuggets improved to 52-28 and tightened their grip on the 3-seed in the Western Conference. And they're doing all of this with interim coach David Adelman after Michael Malone left for UNC. Nobody expected Denver to be playing this well heading into the playoffs — but with Jokic performing at this level, they're a nightmare matchup for anyone in the West.
