Jokic was sensational, logging yet another triple double while both Aaron Gordon and Cam Johnson up the ante late to help secure the victory for Denver.

The Denver Nuggets secured their best win of the season, beating the San Antonio Spurs Saturday 136-134 in overtime. Nikola Jokić was fabulous in the win and showcased why he should win the MVP over guys like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Victor Wembanyama. Jokic finished with a whopping 40 points, 8 rebounds and 13 assists in the win, including a signature Sombor Shuffle over Wembanyama to help ice the game. The win extends the Nuggets’ win streak to eight games. Denver also has a chance to capture the No. 3 seed given the recent injuries to the Los Angeles Lakers.
