The Joker needed only three quarters to record his 89th career triple-double. The sheer unreality of this statistic is best illustrated by comparing it to the rest of the league.
Since the NBA officially began tracking "minute-by-minute" statistics (1997/98 season), Jokić boasts an astonishing 30 more triple-doubles than any other player in that period!
While others struggle to achieve a double-digit performance in three statistical categories even once a season, Nikola does it routinely, leaving legends like LeBron James and Russell Westbrook far behind in this specific modern-era category.
The victory over Memphis wasn't just another day at the office; it was a historic moment for the Colorado franchise. The Denver Nuggets secured their 10th consecutive win, marking the longest winning streak in the "Jokić era" (since the 2015/16 season).
This also marks the first time since 2013 that Denver has strung together ten triumphs. The anticipation for this achievement is highlighted by the fact that, in the interim, 20 other NBA franchises managed to achieve a double-digit winning streak, while the Nuggets battled this "curse."
