Nikola Jokić becomes only second NBA player ever – and first in 62 years – to record historic milestone

 Jokić put up an absurd 29 points, 18 rebounds and 16 assists in the Denver Nuggets’ 144-139 overtime win over the Brooklyn Nets, becoming only the second player in NBA history and the first in 62 years to reach that stat line.

“It’s just an extra five minutes, it’s not really that much extra playing time,” Jokić said.

For the Nets, Dennis Schröder had a team-high 28 points to go with 14 assists, while Cam Thomas had 26 and Cameron Johnson put up 20. Seven Nets players scored in double figures as Brooklyn moved to 1-3 on the year.Luka Dončić leads Mavericks to win over TimberwolvesMinnesota Timberwolves fans will have felt a familiar sinking feeling while watching Luka Dončić hit a late three-pointer to seal a 120-114 win for the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday.Dončić gave Timberwolves fans nightmares
