Jokic's 34th Triple-Double Powers Nuggets to 10th Straight Win

It took 11 years, but Nikola Jokic finally has a 10-game winning streak as a Denver Nugget. The three-time MVP dropped 14 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists in just 31 minutes as the Nuggets blew out the Memphis Grizzlies 136-119 on Wednesday night. That's triple-double number 34 on the season — casually historic, the way only Jokic can be.

Here's the stat that puts it all in perspective: according to Opta, there have been over 1.4 million recorded 10-game spans in NBA history, including playoffs. In none of them has any player totaled more points, rebounds, and assists than Jokic has during this streak — 252 points, 145 rebounds, and 127 assists. Not Wilt. Not Magic. Not LeBron. Nobody.

Denver has surged from the 6th seed to the 3rd seed during this run, sitting at 52-28. The Nuggets look like the team nobody in the West wants to face in the first round — and Jokic looks like a man who's been saving his best basketball for April.
