Highlights: Nikola Jokić puts up 29-22 line against Suns

It took a little longer than normal, but Jokic was able to lead the Nuggets to another win over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night.

All Jokiu0107 did was put up 29 points, 20 rebounds and six assists in 42 minutes, as the Nuggets need double overtime to put away the resilient Suns, who were without Devin Booker after the young star suffered a hamstring injury in the game last night. Jokiu0107 was especially dominant in overtime, taking advantage of the Suns defense without DeAndre Ayton who fouled out during the first overtime period.

Jokiu0107 didn’t shoot particularly well, missing 12 of his 21 shots with nary a 3-point attempt, but went to the free throw line for 14 attempts, abusing the Suns big men whenever he had a chance.
