Jokic and Rivers cleared the Nets’ “runner-up” for the Nuggets

Denver trailed 65-54 at the end of the first half, requiring them to pick up the pace vertically in the third period and, thanks to a split score of 42-26, gained the upper hand to eventually prevail by great difficulty. However, this was the Nuggets’ third win, which is the only thing they care about.

Nikola Jokic was Denver’s leader again with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, with Austin Rivers still holding the key to the win with 25 points (including 22 in the second half) with a 7/10 three and Will Burton adding up 21 points and 10 rebounds.

For the nets, Cam Thomas had 25 points, Patti Mills had 21 points, and LaMarcus Aldridge had 18 points.
