DENVER — Nikola Jokic had 38 points, 10 rebounds, and five steals to rally the Denver Nuggets to a 119-115 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.
Jokic fell four assists shy of his NBA-leading ninth triple-double of the season. The reigning league MVP remained tied with Magic Johnson for the third-most triple-doubles in NBA history with 138.
Michael Porter Jr. added 22 points and Aaron Gordon had 15 points and nine rebounds for Denver.
The loss was the fifth in a row for Golden State following a 12-3 start and means the Warriors will travel to Houston next week for the NBA Cup quarterfinals.
