DENVER — — Whenever the Denver Nuggets start to take the floaters and volleyball-like tip passes from Nikola Jokic even a little bit for granted, they remember one thing.
“What life was like before Nikola got here,” Denver coach Michael Malone said. “I think people don’t do that. (They’re like), ‘It’s always been like this.’ No it wasn’t. No it wasn’t. Don’t do that. Don’t lie to yourself.”
Jokic turned in another masterful performance with 27 points, 22 rebounds and 12 assists as the Nuggets held off the short-handed Portland Trail Blazers 120-108 on Friday night.
A little break did wonders for Jokic, who appeared to have an extra bounce after sitting out the game at Oklahoma City on Wednesday. The two-time NBA MVP recorded his 15th triple-double of the season.
“We have been spoiled and I’m sure some of us do find ourselves maybe taking it for granted,” Malone said. “But just remind yourself that not many guys like Nikola Jokic walk through those doors. Appreciate every opportunity that you have to watch him play.”
Jamal Murray nearly had a triple-double, too, finishing with 13 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds. He and Jokic — along with two big 3-pointers from Peyton Watson — were pivotal in the Nuggets fending off the Blazers down the stretch.
