Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Logs 24th triple-double of season

Jokic amassed 36 points (14-24 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 17 rebounds and 10 assists over 40 minutes during Thursday's 102-100 loss to the Clippers.

Jokic cut Domantas Sabonis' category lead to two with his 24th triple-double of the season. Jokic had a masterful performance but failed to hit a potential game-winning three-pointer as time expired. Although four of five players in the first unit reached double figures, the offense was slightly compromised by Jamal Murray's (knee) absence, as the Nuggets are usually much more efficient when he's on the floor. Jokic is mounting another MVP-worthy campaign, and he'll continue to excel as the season draws to a close.
