Nikola Jokic recorded his third triple-double of the season with 32 points as the Denver Nuggets defeated the Toronto Raptors 128-109 on Thursday night. The Serbian center continued his dominant start to the campaign, leading Denver to a comfortable victory at home.
The Nuggets' offense clicked throughout the contest, with Jokic orchestrating the attack from the post and perimeter. His triple-double performance underscored his status as one of the league's most versatile big men, contributing across scoring, rebounding, and playmaking categories.
Denver's balanced scoring attack overwhelmed Toronto's defense, with the Nuggets shooting efficiently from the field. The Raptors struggled to contain Jokic's multidimensional game, as he exploited mismatches and found open teammates when double-teamed.
