Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic has once again etched his name in the NBA history books, delivering a record-breaking performance in his team’s thrilling 149-141 overtime victory against the Phoenix Suns. The three-time MVP posted an extraordinary triple-double, tallying 31 points, 21 rebounds, and 22 assists—an achievement never before recorded in league history.
“It was just one of those nights,” Jokic humbly stated in a post-game interview with ESPN. “One day, when my career is over, I’ll sit back on the sofa and think to myself that I really had a good game.”
Jokic’s dominance on the court left both fans and analysts in awe. His head coach, Michael Malone, had nothing but praise for the Serbian phenom: “There are a lot of great players in this league, but Nikola is in a class of his own.”
The 30-year-old center’s latest milestone marks his 29th triple-double of the season, tying his personal best for a single campaign. Additionally, his 22 assists set a new career-high, further underscoring his playmaking brilliance. The NBA’s official website described his performance as a masterclass in “selfless basketball dominance.”
With this victory, the Nuggets improved their season record to 41-22, placing them third in the highly competitive Western Conference. The Oklahoma City Thunder continue to hold the top spot after securing a 107-89 win over the Portland Trail Blazers—despite missing several key players, including Isaiah Hartenstein. OKC’s latest triumph marks their sixth consecutive victory, solidifying their position as the team to beat in the West.
As Jokic continues to redefine what is possible on the court, one thing is clear: he is far more than just a star—he is a legend in the making.
