NBA, Denver thanks the immense Nikola Jokic

Ninth triple double for Jokic

Only three NBA regular season games played on the night. With effort, Denver managed to get rid of New Orleans (132-129 after an overtime). The Nuggets risked big and put back on track a complicated contest only to a final partial of 15 to 2 and, above all, thanks to the usual Jokic.

The Serbian è spectacular: 27 points (11/20 shooting from the field), 13 rebounds and 11 assists. Yet another triple-double of the season (his ninth to be exact), decisive in sending the Pelicans down. New Orleans collects its seventh loss in a row (5-25 the current record).

Sacramento’s black moment continues as it loses to Indiana (122-95), cashing its fourth consecutive defeat (13-17 record for the Kings). Excellent performance by Siakam who puts up 19 points, with also 10 rebounds. Important success for Houston, which wins over Toronto (114-110 the final). Important contribution of Brooks: 27 points with also six rebounds. Seventh straight knockout for the Raptors.

As reported by ESPN, Caruso extended his contract with OKC for the next four years for a total of $81 million. A great achievement for a player who was not è chosen at the NBA Draft but who, with commitment, è became a great specialist, now highly rated defensively.
