In the night behind us, as many as 14 games were played in the NBA league.
For fans in the region, the duel between the Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns, which went to the home team with a score of 117:90, stood out.
It was the new in a series of clashes between our Jusuf Nurkić and Nikola Jokić, and this time the Serbian basketball player was happy, as he dominated the whole game and led his Denver team to a very convincing victory.
The uncertainty in this game lasted during the first two quarters when Phoenix was a more than worthy opponent. But on the wings of Jokić, Denver made a great run in the third part of the game and went to a difference of more than 20 points. He was followed by Michael Porter with 24.
It was unattainable for Phoenix in the sequel, and the fired-up hosts made sure that the Suns suffered one of the heaviest defeats of the season.
In the ranks of Phoenix, Bradley Beal was the most effective with 23 points, as many as Kevin Durant also scored. Jusuf Nurkić spent 14 minutes and 63 seconds on the field and during that time he had the same number of points, rebounds and assists – four each.
The Dallas Mavericks also celebrated a home victory against the Portland Trail Blazers 132:108. And in this match, the Balkan basketball player was the first name of the meeting, and it is, of course, Luka Dončić. The Slovenian representative scored 27 points with seven rebounds and assists in less than half an hour on the court. He was followed by Gafford and Irving with 23 and 20 points respectively for the home team.
The triple-double of LeBron James (28 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists) and the double-double of Davis (19 points, 10 rebounds) were not enough for the Lakers, who were defeated by the Detroit Pistons 114:117 in Los Angeles.
