The Denver Nuggets secured a victory against the Memphis Grizzlies, with a final score of 117-109, in an NBA matchup on Friday night in Denver.

Nikola Jokic contributed significantly to the Nuggets’ win with 26 points, 16 rebounds, and 13 assists.

The Nuggets outscored the Grizzlies 14-1 in the last six minutes of the game.

Jokic achieved a milestone by becoming the third player ever to average a triple-double for a season and the first center to do so.

He has recorded 34 triple-doubles in the current season and 164 throughout his career.

The Nuggets overcame a 15-point deficit to maintain their position in the top six of the Western Conference.

The team holds a 49-32 record before their regular-season finale against the Houston Rockets on Sunday.

David Adelman, interim head coach for the Nuggets, secured victories in his first two games.
