Nikola Jokic He continues at the pace of a recital per day in the NBA. The Serbian star was once again decisive in the victory of the Denver Nuggets over the Indiana Pacers 109-114 with the thirteenth triple-double of the season and a decisive goal seconds from the final horn. With 31 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists and 13 of 19 in field goals (3 of 4 in triples), the Sombor giant once again flaunted its unparalleled efficiency in the history of the American league.
In his last 15 games, Jokic presents a percentage of true shooting del 77,3% (a scale that combines two-pointers, three-pointers and free throws), figures never seen before for a player with his load within the team. With averages above 25 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, it is a true savagery that he perpetrates daily almost without breaking a sweat, like his three-pointer that sealed the victory last night in the absence of six seconds from the conclusion.
Not to fail, Jokic does not fail even when he recommends that his coach ask for a review of a poorly refereed play. There are already five in a row that he tells his coach and end up being sanctioned in favor of Denver, third in the Western Conference with 31 wins and 14 losses. The Serbian was not alone, accompanied by the 31 points of Jamal Murray, decisive also in the key stretch of the last quarter.
The Pacers put up a fight in the home opener of Pascal I’m sorryhis new addition to support a promising project with Tyrese Haliburton y Myles Turner. The Cameroonian appeared before his new audience with 16 points and 10 rebounds, but it was the center who led the local effort with 22 points and 6 rebounds. The point guard, the true driving force of the group, stayed one more day without playing while he finished recovering from a muscle injury.
Denver dominated by double digits in the second half, but Indiana knew how to hold on to the scoreboard and demand an additional effort from the reigning champions in the final stretch. Nothing that Jokic, with two strokes of his genius, cannot solve as if he were an official stamping yet another seal. Tremendous.
