US EditionJokic's 55-Point Game Pays Off with Rare Win for Nuggets on One of His Prolific Scoring Nights
Nikola Jokic tied the NBA season high with 55 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as the Nuggets secured a sixth consecutive win over an injury-hit Clippers team.
- On Wednesday night, Nikola Jokic scored 55 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead the Denver Nuggets to a 130-116 win over the short-handed Los Angeles Clippers in Inglewood, extending their streak to six games.
- Because the Clippers were shorthanded, missing Kawhi Leonard due to a sprained ankle and learning Bradley Beal will miss the season, coach Tyronn Lue said they focused on guarding role players with varied lineups.
- The Serbian big man shot 18-of-23, was 5-of-6 on 3-pointers, made 14-of-16 free throws, surged in Denver's third quarter, reached 50 points, then sat most of the fourth quarter with six assists.
- The result left Jordan Miller with a career-high 22 and Ivica Zubac with 18 as the Los Angeles Clippers lost six straight before traveling to Dallas Friday and the Denver Nuggets to Minnesota Saturday.
- Beyond the box score, Nikola Jokic shot 72.7% over the previous five games and became the only player with a 30-point triple-double average over a five-game stretch since Wilt Chamberlain; his 55 points tie the NBA season high set by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Oct. 23.
