Jokic registers triple-double, Wolves fall 109-100

Published

DENVER -- Jamal Murray has found his scoring touch just in time for the Denver Nuggets to face the best team in the Western Conference.

It helps to have one of the best passers in the NBA getting him the ball.

Murray scored 28 points, including nine in the final minutes of the third quarter to stem a rally by Minnesota, and Denver completed a sweep of a five-game homestand with a 109-100 win over the Timberwolves on Friday night.




Nikola Jokic had 22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for his fifth triple-double of the season and 33rd of his career. He has eight straight double-doubles, including two triple-doubles in that span.
