The Denver Nuggets defeated the Sacramento Kings on their home court in a regular-season NBA game. The match ended with a score of 132:123.

Denver’s center Nikola Jokic was the most effective player of the game, securing a triple-double (35 points, 22 rebounds, and 17 assists).

According to the NBA press service, the Serbian player became only the second basketball player in history to record 35+ points, 20+ rebounds, and 15+ assists in a single game. The first to achieve this was American Wilt Chamberlain in 1968.

It is also worth noting that near the end of the third quarter against Sacramento, Jokic made a buzzer-beating three-pointer from across the court.
