The Denver Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat 122-112 to win their second consecutive victory. In this game, Nikola Jokic got a triple-double in three quarters. He sent out key assists in the last quarter to extinguish the Heat's counterattack momentum. It feels like Jokic is just sweating slightly when he gets 30+ triple-doubles. Jokic is already a brand-new triple-double monster in the league.

In 36 minutes of this campaign, Jokic made 12 of 18, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, 33 points, 16 assists, 15 rebounds and 3 steals. His shooting percentage was 66.7%, his three-point shooting percentage was 40%, his true shooting percentage was 76.7%, and his plus-minus value was +18. He completed a triple-double in the first three quarters.

Jokic set multiple records in this game: 1. 5 triple-doubles in 7 games this season, and the other players totaled 5 times;

2. Jokic’s 71st triple-double in his career;

3. Jokic’s 169th triple-double in his career ;

4. Obtained his seventh triple-double against the Heat;

5. Since 1980, Jokic has played 30+15+15 games 7 times, and the other players have a total of 7 times;

6. Since 2020 Jokic has not lost against the Heat since August 2018;

7. There are only two players in history who have scored 33+15+16+3 steals in a single game. The first was Magic in 1981, and the second was Jokic;

After this game, Jokic averaged 35 minutes per game, 24.1 points, 13.5 rebounds and 11.9 assists. Jokic had 5 triple-doubles in 7 games. He wants to average a triple-double for two consecutive seasons. He wants to compete with Westbrook for who has more rhythm in a season where he averages a triple-double per game?

It is worth mentioning that Jokic's MVP probability has been raised to the third position in the league behind Giannis and SGA. If Jokic really averages a triple-double per game again, then the fourth MVP is really coming.
