US EditionNikola Jokic Passes Oscar Robertson for 2nd Most Triple-Doubles in NBA History
Jokic's 182nd triple-double breaks Oscar Robertson's record as the Nuggets end a three-game losing streak with a 136-120 win over the Bulls.
- At the United Center in Chicago, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic had 22 points, 17 assists and 14 rebounds to pass Oscar Robertson for second-most triple-doubles in NBA history, with his 182nd in the regular season.
- It was Jokic's 19th triple-double this season and second in consecutive games, reflecting his strong recent form.
- A late Denver surge opened the fourth with a 20-2 run, capped by consecutive 3s from Julian Strawther, after Chicago led 104-97 in the third period.
- The win ended Denver's three-game skid, and Nikola Jokic received a game ball from Denver Nuggets teammates after his triple-double on Saturday.
- He now trails only Russell Westbrook, who has 207 career triple-doubles, and as a three-time NBA MVP and eight-time All-Star, Jokic remains a top player; Nuggets teammate Jamal Murray expects even more as Jokic will turn 31 on Feb. 19.
