Nikola Jokic had his NBA-leading 10th triple-double with 20 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists as the Nuggets ended Sacramento’s three-game winning streak. Murray scored 28 points, while Russell Westbrook had 18 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists. The teams exchanged leads seven times over the final 75 seconds, with Murray nailing the game-winner 10 seconds after DeMar DeRozan put the Kings in front with a baseline dunk.
Domantas Sabonis had 28 points, 14 rebounds and six assists for the Kings. De’Aaron Fox added 29 points and seven assists. Malik Monk scored 25.Nuggets: Westbrook has been a critical player for Denver.

Kings: Mike Brown’s squad showed good energy coming back to make things close after beginning the game flat on both ends of the floor. Denver was the more physical team most of the night, although the Kings played significantly better in the second half before coming up short.
