Nuggets Win 10th Straight — Jokic Gets His 34th Triple-Double
Nikola Jokic is doing Jokic things. 14 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists — his 34th triple-double of the season — as the Nuggets rolled the Grizzlies 136-119 for their 10th consecutive win. Denver hasn't rattled off a streak like this since 2013.
Jamal Murray poured in 26 points and the Nuggets' offense was humming all night. Memphis' Cam Coward fought back with 27 but it wasn't enough against a Denver team that's playing its best basketball of the season at exactly the right time.
The Nuggets are surging into the playoffs with momentum and a healthy roster. They're tied with the Rockets and Lakers for the 4-5-6 seed range in the West, and nobody wants to draw this team in the first round. When Jokic is averaging a triple-double and Murray is cooking, Denver is a legitimate contender to come out of the West.
