Nikola Jokic earned another game ball from his Denver Nuggets teammates after achieving another triple-double.
The Nuggets witnessed a new breakout game from Nikola Jokic. And in the process, moved up a certain list versus the Bulls.
The Denver Nuggets and Golden State Warriors are targeting the same free agent point guard.
Nikola Jokic had 22 points, 17 assists and 14 rebounds for his second triple-double in as many games, Jamal Murray had 28 points and 11 assists and the Denver Nuggets ended a three-game skid with a 136-120 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night.
The Nuggets got an unexpected scare from a Bulls team that has barely played together on Saturday, but a dominant Nikola Jokic helped buoy Denver.
The Nuggets are looking to make a smaller, cost-saving deal at the NBA trade deadline involving Hunter Tyson.
The recently past NBA Trade Deadline was not short on big, team-altering moves. The Los Angeles Clippers sent away two big name starters and appear to be beginning an attempt to reshape a roster that produced a highly competitive playoff team a year ago.

CHICAGO (AP) — Nikola Jokic had 22 points, 17 assists and 14 rebounds to pass Oscar Robertson for the second-most triple-doubles in NBA history and the Denver Nuggets ended a three-game skid with a 136-120 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night.
