Nikola Jokic had 31 points, 21 rebounds and a career-high 22 assists and the Denver Nuggets outlasted the Phoenix Suns 149-141 in overtime Friday night after losing a 21-point lead. Jokic became the first NBA player with a triple-double of at least 30 points, 20 rebounds and 20 assists. He tied his team record with his 29th triple-double of the season, stretching his career total to 149. It was also the seventh time this season that Jokic had at least 15 points, 15 rebounds and 15 assists in a game, tied with Oscar Robertson (1961-62) for the most in a season in NBA history.

Nikola Jokic is averaging:

1.8 SPG (career-high)
57.7% FG
43.9% 3P (career-high on career-high volume)

He should have 4 straight MVPs, and there’s a very real argument for what would have been his 5th this season. – 10:23 AM
