Nikola Jokic Makes NBA History with Record-Breaking Triple-Double

Jokic's 23-point, 17-rebound, 15-assist performance in under 30 minutes leads Nuggets to dominant win over Hawks.

Nikola Jokic became the first player in NBA history to record a 20+ point, 15+ rebound, and 15+ assist triple-double in under 30 minutes of play.
Jokic secured his league-leading 14th triple-double of the season and the 144th of his career early in the third quarter of the Nuggets' 139-120 victory over the Hawks.
The Denver Nuggets set a season-high with 44 team assists, showcasing exceptional ball movement, including strong synergy between Jokic and Russell Westbrook, who contributed 16 points and 11 assists.
The Nuggets shot a perfect 21-of-21 from the free-throw line and extended their winning streak to three games, starting a busy January schedule with a statement win.
Atlanta's Trae Young led his team with 30 points and nine assists, but the Hawks saw their four-game winning streak snapped as Denver dominated the third quarter with a 39-14 run.
