In the Denver Nuggets’ win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night, Nikola Jokic had one of the most unusual stat lines in NBA history. Jokic was historic in many ways, finishing the game with 4 points, 7 rebounds, 16 assists, and 5 blocks in only 24:37 minutes of play.

Jokic became the first player in NBA history to record 16 assists and 5 blocks in less than 30 minutes of play. In fact, Jalen Rose, who played 36 minutes that night, is the only other player in NBA history to record at least 16 assists and 5 blocks in a game.

With the 7 rebounds, Jokic became the first player in NBA history to post such a line, regardless of minutes played. It was a momentous night for Jokic, but not in the way you might expect. Jokic, who is known for putting together remarkable combinations of points, rebounds, assists, and efficiency, did not even seek to score in this game – yet he still made history.

Jokic, one of the game’s most distinctive stars, can absolutely dominate the game while only shooting the ball three times. That was evident in this game, as Jokic comfortably dispatched the Pistons in historic fashion.
