Nikola Jokic Scores Career-High 61 Points!

Last night, in an intense game against the Timberwolves that went to a second overtime, Nikola Jokic scored a career-high 61 Points in one of the greatest performances I have ever seen!

Jokic is easily a top-two MVP candidate this season, and this performance certainly strengthened his case for the award.

In this game, he recorded an insane:

61 Points

10 Rebounds

10 Assists

2 Steals

62% of shots made

This is the most points scored in any triple-double in NBA history and just the 3rd ever 60+ point triple-double!

An unreal performance by one of the all-time greats.

With an incredible performance like this, the Nuggets must have won this game, right?

Well no.

In the final 30 seconds of the game, Russel Westbrook missed a layup and then fouled someone on a three-point attempt, leading to the Timberwolves game-winning free throws.
