Jokic scored 23 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT) to go with 11 assists, eight rebounds, seven steals and one block across 34 minutes in a 122-116 loss to Brooklyn on Tuesday.
Jokic was kept in check in the second half after scoring 15 points before halftime. Denver held a 16-point lead going into the third quarter, but a strong performance from Kevin Durant and company stole the win from Jokic -- who added just four points in the fourth -- and the Nuggets down the stretch. The center has logged at least a double-double in each game this season, achieving a triple-double in four of his outings.
