But it doesn't mean Jokic is getting buried, he also recorded another triple-double 14/18/10, and that is his 9th in their last 11 games.
Superpowered Nuggets will be difficult to defeat.
Just another trivia that I saw online.
The Nuggets are 18-0 when Jokic gets a triple-double. If that doesn't amaze you as an NBA fan then I don't know why. I mean Jokic is the main guy of the Nuggets, and it's a good thing that he got Murray back and aside from that, he also got some very good role players in the team. Players like MPJ, DeAndre Jordan as their backup center, KCP who won a title in the Lakers, Hyland, Green, Bruce Brown, Aaron Gordon. The roster is very deep that you can still make a good team out of their role players. I just hope that they will convert it on the playoffs and they will play even better and no one gets injured.
LeBron only needs to score 36 points to break Kareem's record and become the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. By the way, the schedule notes that the game against the Thunder will also be broadcast on TNT. So I wouldn't be surprised if LeBron can break that record during the game against the Thunder, as 36 points per game is not a tough task for him.
In any case, the lucky ones are those fans who will be in the Lakers arena and will be able to see this historic moment live.
I believe he can't do it against the Thunder.
In his last 3 games, he only averaged 27 PPG. Unless his team will give the ball to him most of the time like what the Lakers did to Kobe on his last game where he scored 60 points then it's possible that he can surpass it against the Thunder. After all, many are excited on that achievement, but if it will be just a normal game then I believe he can't do it. I'll watch the game on livestream and will not do anything on that day.
