Nikola Jokic Posts His 35th Triple-Double as the Nuggets Beat the Trail Blazers 128-112

On Sunday, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic recorded his 35th triple-double with 22 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists as Denver beat the Portland Trail Blazers 128-112 at Ball Arena, snapping Portland's winning streak.
Peyton Watson returned from a hamstring injury after missing time since February 4 and scored 14 points in just under 20 minutes off the bench under a minutes restriction.
Balanced scoring showed itself as Denver shot 54.4% from the field and 39% from three, with an 11-0 run featuring 3s from Jokic, Gordon and Johnson, and seven players in double figures.
The result dropped Portland from eighth to ninth in the standings with 10 games remaining, and they return home on Monday to host the Brooklyn Nets while Denver visits the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.
Jokic's night also added a career milestone as he recorded his 85th career triple-double by the third quarter, while Denver defense limited Portland to 43 points after halftime, shifting momentum toward playoffs.
