Getting a team its first title is one thing, but breаking all the records of the greats who came before is something else. The names Dan Issel and Alex English have been linked to the Denver Nuggets for more than 30 years. Now, Nikola Jokic has become their new king. He even did something new when they barely beаt the Brooklyn Nets.
Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports says that Nikola Jokic is now the Nuggets’ top scorer. He passed Dan Issel by getting 11 rebounds against the Nets, which was a huge effort. He is now just one more big statistics record away from being the team leader in points scored, rebounds, and passes. He has the boards and dimes already. It’s only a matter of time before the Jоker takes over from Alex English.
It was clear that Jokic was hungry for this match. He played for 34 minutes and scored 31 points. This, along with his seven assists, shows what a crаzy scoring machine he can be every night. Because he had been hurt for a while, he was able to lead his team when they needed it most.
Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon, and Jamal Murray were some of the other Nuggets who came to life because of him. Everything they did helped them win by a score of 122–117, giving them their 20th win of the season. Will they be able to keep going strong after the holidays?
