Nuggets won their 11th straight, beating OKC 127-107.

The Denver Nuggets just keep winning. An 11th straight victory — 127-107 over the Thunder — has Denver surging into the playoffs as maybe the most dangerous team in the West. Jonas Valanciunas posted season highs of 23 points and 17 rebounds with the starters resting.

But the real story is Nikola Jokic during this streak. Over the first 10 games, Jokic averaged 25.2 points, 14.5 rebounds, and 12.7 assists. According to Opta Stats, in over 1.4 million recorded 10-game spans in NBA history, no player has EVER totaled more combined points, rebounds, and assists than Jokic did during this run: 252 points, 145 rebounds, 127 assists.

It's Denver's longest winning streak since they won 15 straight in 2012-13. Under David Adelman — who replaced Michael Malone (now the head coach at UNC) — the Nuggets are playing the best basketball in the league. West 3-4 between Denver and the Lakers is still undecided heading into the final day.
