Nikola Jokic had a great performance and got his fifth consecutive triple-double


The Denver Nuggets center hit a three-point shot to complete a triple-double as the team defeated the Sacramento Kings 132-123.  

 

With 1.7 seconds left in the third quarter, Nikola Jokic caught the inbounds pass, turned and threw the ball 66 feet, and the ball landed on the other side of the goal. Nikola Jokic walked to the bench as if nothing had happened, and his teammates surrounded him, and the sold-out stadium suddenly became boiling.  

 

That seemed like a footnote to a blowout win for the Denver Nuggets, who led 110-85 but had to withstand a late rally to beat the Sacramento Kings 132-123. It was Denver's fourth straight win.  

 

In the end, Nikola Jokic scored 35 points, 22 rebounds and a season-high 17 assists, and his 12 shots were particularly outstanding with three-pointers. Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone said: "He is a player with incredible ability."  

 

Nikola Jokic's shooting percentage is low, but his three-point shooting percentage has improved. He made 2 of 3 three-pointers, and his three-point shooting percentage is currently 47.9%.  

 

Nikola Jokic said: "When you play basketball, you hope to make every shot. I took the opportunity and made it. It was a lucky shot and the hit rate was not high, but I took the opportunity. It was a three-pointer, which helped us."  

 

The shot was Nikola Jokic's fifth consecutive triple-double, which came before the end of the third quarter, and his 20th triple-double of the season, the highest record in the NBA this season.
