Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic made NBA history with a record-breaking performance, scoring a career-high 61 points in a triple-double, the highest-scoring triple-double ever recorded in the league. The Serbian three-time MVP added 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a thrilling 140-139 overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Ball Arena. Despite Jokic’s heroics, the Nuggets fell short after a dramatic final sequence that saw Russell Westbrook miss a crucial layup and later commit a costly foul on Nickeil Alexander-Walker with 0.1 seconds left in overtime, allowing Minnesota to clinch the win.
The Timberwolves, playing without suspended players Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo, capitalized on the late-game opportunity, with Alexander-Walker sinking two of three free throws to secure the victory. Elsewhere in the NBA, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry put on a show of his own, drilling 12 three-pointers in a 52-point performance to lead his team past the Memphis Grizzlies 134-125. The victory lifted the Warriors to fifth place in the West, as head coach Steve Kerr praised the 37-year-old Curry for his relentless work ethic and enduring dominance on the court.
