Nikola Jokic has made so many pretty passes that by the end of Saturday night, he didn’t need to look.
He swung a no-look dime to Aaron Gordon midway through the fourth quarter to notch his NBA-leading 18th triple-double, and the Nuggets won, again, this time knocking off the visiting Hawks, 128-108 for their third win in a row. Denver improved to 37-16 on the season and 18-0 in games where Jokic registers a triple-double.
Michael Porter Jr. added 23 points, and the Nuggets got a comfortable win with a back-to-back scheduled for Minnesota on Sunday. Without Trae Young, Dejounte Murray paced the Hawks with 28 points. Denver’s 15 3-pointers were overwhelming. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope rolled his right ankle early in the contest after landing on a defender’s foot. Though he momentarily returned to the game, Caldwell-Pope was in street clothes for the second half.
