Nikola Jokic stood on the outer fringes of a fourth-quarter timeout, hands clasped behind his back as if admiring his work.
Though he’s too humble to think in those terms, Jokic crafted a masterpiece on Tuesday night, as the Nuggets throttled the visiting Timberwolves, 146-112. On account of Jokic’s first-half triple-double, the two-time reigning MVP got to watch from the bench while his teammates salted away another home victory.Denver improved to 38-17 on the season, including 26-4 at home. They’ll resume play on Thursday at Orlando.
Michael Porter Jr. was outstanding with 30 points and four 3-pointers. His aggression, both in hunting for his shots and in charging downhill toward the basket, were indications of how confident he was in his body. It was necessary, too, as Jamal Murray sat with inflammation in his right knee. Aaron Gordon added 24 points with eight assists in the rout. The Nuggets dished a season-high 44 dimes as a team.
