However, Nuggets star Nikola Jokic made the big plays down the stretch to escape another consecutive loss. Jokic finished the game just shy of a triple-double, logging 28 points, 13 assists, and nine rebounds.

Nuggets center Nikola Jokic had one of the passes of the year to Jamal Murray against the 76ers on Friday night.

Nikola Jokic buried a go-ahead 3-pointer with 40 seconds remaining to help Denver snap a losing streak on the road, where the 76ers hung around without Joel Embiid and Paul George.
