Overview
- Nikola Jokic logged his second triple-double of the season with 15 assists, 14 rebounds and 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting, not attempting a shot until late in the second quarter.
- Jamal Murray scored 23 points and drilled a roughly 55-foot buzzer-beater to end the first quarter, punctuating the moment with a shrug toward the Suns.
- Denver put seven players in double figures and shot 51.2% from the field, with Christian Braun scoring 20 and Aaron Gordon adding 17.
- Devin Booker led Phoenix with 31 points as the Suns, on the second night of a back-to-back and without Mark Williams, twice cut the deficit before Denver sealed it with a 14-2 closing run.
- Jokic’s regular-season triple-double tally reached 166, and next up are road games Monday for Denver at Minnesota and for Phoenix at Utah.
