While most players are happy just securing a triple-double, Jokic does it like he&#8217;s grocery shopping\u2014effortlessly, routinely, and with an extra bag of assists for good measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-05ea6bdf9f9dcb95251a20dad740b0ec\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Chaotic Finish: Braun, KD, and Overtime Madness<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Regulation ended in complete chaos. <strong>Devin Booker<\/strong> gave the Suns their first lead since the first quarter with just 1:35 left, capping an 8-0 run that had Nuggets fans sweating. Denver struggled to convert on two straight possessions, but <strong>Michael Porter Jr.<\/strong> snatched the ball from <strong>Mason Plumlee<\/strong> and banked it in to tie the game with 33.3 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-638b45b87a965db9ac274966130b524a\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Then came the real fireworks.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jamal Murray and Jokic ran the classic <strong>pick-and-roll<\/strong>, but instead of Jokic taking the shot, the Suns defense collapsed on him.

The Serbian sensation, Murray, and Braun combined for the first seven points, putting Denver ahead for good. Then came the moment that cemented Jokic\u2019s legendary stat line. With 1:18 left, he dished a perfect pass to <strong>Michael Porter Jr. for his 20th assist<\/strong>, securing his <strong>historic 30-20-20 triple-double<\/strong>. Just for fun, he added two more dimes, because why not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and about that triple-double? He locked it in with <strong>10:22 left in the third quarter<\/strong>\u2014meaning he had an entire quarter and overtime to just pad the numbers. If he plays all 19 remaining games this season, he&#8217;s on pace to finish with <strong>39 triple-doubles<\/strong>, which would be just three shy of Russell Westbrook\u2019s single-season record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9c229e37f0228d0b61372271a6be9c8e\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Offensive Fireworks: Nuggets Raining Threes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jokic didn\u2019t do it alone\u2014his teammates <strong>couldn\u2019t miss<\/strong> against Phoenix\u2019s bottom-five defense. <strong>Aaron Gordon<\/strong> set the tone early, hitting four outside shots in the first six minutes, playing like he had Steph Curry\u2019s shooting coach on speed dial.
