Nikola Jokić was a force to be reckoned with on Friday night!
The Denver Nuggets secured a 102-100 win over the Boston Celtics, breaking the Celtics’ 27-game home win streak. Jokić’s early impressive performance was a pivotal factor, contributing 30 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists in the first three quarters.
He finished the night with an outstanding performance, tallying 34 points on 14-of-22 shooting, as well as 12 rebounds and nine assists.

Tatum and Jaylen a combined 2 for 12 from three. Jokic and Murray 16 for 22 from the field.
And…Celtics by 6 at half.
Tonight’s breakdown: Murray/Jokic > JB/JT.
The gap between Jokic and Tatum is as wide as the Pacific Ocean man
There’s no way you watch Jokic and think yh Tatum is in the same tier as this guy
Tatum/Brown vs. Jokic/Murray is boys vs men
The Celtics will have to wait until January 27 for their next home game, facing the LA Clippers at TD Garden. Meanwhile, Jokic and the Nuggets continue their road trip with a visit to the Washington Wizards.
