Nikola Jokic is brilliant – and Denver keeps winning. That was the case again in their game against Utah, which the Nuggets won with a comeback in the final quarter.

The Denver Nuggets conceded 43 points in the third quarter, at one point trailing by 13.

However, David Adelman's squad managed to avoid an embarrassing defeat, ultimately securing a 135-129 victory.

The Serbian center finished the game with 33 points, 16 rebounds, and 12 assists. This marked his fourth consecutive triple-double and his 31st of the season overall.

I think our defense in the fourth quarter is the model for how we should play the entire game. We weren't good defensively, but we found energy with the help of the crowd. They helped us when it mattered most, and it was incredible.Nikola Jokic

Jamal Murray achieved a historic milestone, becoming the Nuggets' all-time single-season leader in three-pointers made, with 221.

He's been playing at a very, very high level for the past two or three years, and this record is just a reward for everything he's done this season.

Nikola received the most amusing question at the end – how he feels when guarded by significantly shorter players who try to stop him by "hitting his knees."
