Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets reacts to his team’s sloppy play against the New Orleans Pelicans during the first quarter at Ball Arena in Denver on Monday, November 6, 2023. Led by an all-time great basketball player ascending in the history books and a fresh-faced rookie trying to climb to the top of a scorebook for the first time, the Nuggets mounted a comeback thrilling enough to let fans forget about who was missing for a couple of hours.
With a triple-double by the end of the quarter, Jokic passed LeBron James and Jason Kidd for fourth in NBA history. Next up on the all-time list is Magic Johnson . He finished with 35 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists. The last time he played at all in Denver, on April 28, 2021, the game ended with Jokic blocking his game-tying shot attempt at the rim. This time, Gordon and Peyton Watson led the charge in bottling him up. Williamson finished with 20 points on 22 shots.
But Hawkins, Matt Ryan and Dyson Daniels — not Williamson or Brandon Ingram — torched the makeshift second unit. Those three combined to shoot 14 for 21 in the half, including 9 for 14 from 3, combining for 38 points. Keeler: Coach Prime, please!
