After a tough 23-point defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers, the Denver Nuggets made a strong recovery during their road game against the Indiana Pacers on Monday. Demonstrating a commanding performance, the Nuggets departed from Indianapolis with a 125-116 victory, highlighted by the exceptional play of each member of the starting lineup.
Every starter for the Nuggets scored at least 17 points, each shooting 50% or better from the field. While the entire team performed impressively in Indiana, Nikola Jokic, the team’s star center, delivered a standout performance that further strengthened his case for the MVP award.

Jokic concluded the game with 18 points, 19 assists, 9 rebounds, and 4 steals, shooting 9-14 from the field. This performance marked a historic first in the NBA, as no other player has previously achieved these statistics in a single game.
Jokic continues to rewrite the history books almost every evening, maintaining an extraordinary season average of a triple-double. Prior to this game, Sabonis had been averaging 29.4 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.2 assists per game, with impressive shooting splits of 57.4/44.7/82.1.

Following the win in Indiana, the Nuggets improved their record to 38-20 for the season, reclaiming their position at second place in the Western Conference. This victory was crucial for the Nuggets as they aimed to regain their momentum after a disappointing end to their nine-game winning streak with the loss to the Lakers.
Jokic is set to follow up his record-setting performance with another game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday.
