Sabonis Shines with Historic Triple-Double as Jokićs Great Performance Falls Short in Denvers Loss

Nikola Jokić delivered another outstanding performance, excelling in three key statistical areas, but it wasn’t sufficient for his team.

The Denver Nuggets fell to the Chicago Bulls, losing 129-121, even though the three-time MVP notched a triple-double.

Jokić concluded the match with 33 points, 12 rebounds, and 14 assists, boasting an impressive shooting percentage of 15/21. However, the Bulls dominated the scoreboard in the final quarter to secure their victory. Remarkably, Jokić also recorded five dunks.

On the winning side, Nikola Vučević made a significant contribution with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists, while Matas Buzelis chipped in with nine points, four rebounds, and two assists.

In another remarkable showing, Domantas Sabonis registered a triple-double to lead the Sacramento Kings to a 110-96 victory against the Brooklyn Nets on the road.

The Lithuanian center had a standout performance with 21 points, 22 rebounds, and 10 assists, shooting 8/10 from the field. He became only the second player in history, following Wilt Chamberlain, to achieve such numbers in a game.

From the Brooklyn side, the talented British player Tosan Evbuomwan stood out with 15 points and eight rebounds.
