The Nuggets strengthened their grip onto the second seed in the Western Conference with a fifth consecutive win.
Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic laughed off suggestions he could be named MVP this season, insisting the award will go to a “better player”.The 24-year-old delivered another dominant performance on Tuesday night, as the Nuggets won 121-112 over the Oklahoma City Thunder on home court. Jokic finished with 36 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds, notching his 42nd double-double of the season and falling just one rebound short of a 13th triple-double.
With 22 games left to play, Denver has already accumulated more wins than in four of the last five seasons and will return to the playoffs for the first time since 2013, when they lost to the Golden State Warriors in six games in the first round.The defending NBA champions are currently top of the Western Conference, one game ahead of the Nuggets, who improved to 42-18 with the win over the Thunder and chalked up a fifth consecutive success.
