The Nuggets’ offense might be the best carnival ride in Denver.
Already averaging 130 points through three games, Nikola Jokic and company eviscerated the Pelicans with ball movement Wednesday night, piling on a 29-2 run to start the third quarter en route to a 122-88 win at Ball Arena. The rest was an encore.
Jokic went for 21 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in his fourth consecutive triple-double to start the season. Jamal Murray sprayed a barrage of 3-pointers from the same spot on the left wing during the third-quarter run. He wrapped up his night with 17 points and six assists.
