On the evening of Monday and Tuesday, the Denver Nuggets basketball team defeated the Charlotte Hornets 111:93 (24:18, 25:31, 40:17, 22:27) on their court.
Nikola Jokić, the world’s greatest basketball player, put on another outstanding performance. In his 27 minutes on the court, the Serbian center achieved a double-double with 13 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists. He also only played 27 minutes on the pitch, having previously played in the third quarter when the game’s winner was already determined. He also had one block and one stolen ball.
With 25 points and another 22 from Michael Porter Jr., Jamal Murray was the most productive of the champs. With 15 points, Reggie Jackson was also more productive than Jokic in terms of scoring.
On the opposite side, Nick Richards and Brandon Miller both scored 15 points, while Miles Bridges led the way with 26 points.
By the way, Ish Smith received his championship ring just in time for the start of this game. The seasoned playmaker won an NBA championship with the Denver Nuggets the previous season, but he left the team in the summer to play for the Charlotte Hornets.
Such players get the championship trophy, as is customary in America when they see the winner for the first time as a member of a new club. Smith’s visit with the Nuggets this time was noteworthy for how much they adore him.
