The Nuggets got a big road win on Friday night over the Hawks, 134-133, but not after a disastrous first half that had the team reeling. There was a player who recorded a triple-double in the first half, but it was not Nikola Jokic; it was Jalen Johnson of Atlanta. The Joker actually had his worst half in a while, scoring just 10 points on 2-13 shooting.
Everything was going wrong for Denver, and the team trailed 71-48 in the final minutes of the first half. But everything changed after recess, and the Joker led his team all the way back for the win.
