Nuggets big man Nikola Jokiu0107 added to his already impressive season with a career-high 50 points in a 119–114 loss against the Kings.
The showcase started with a 22-point first quarter—the most he has ever scored in a quarter—and Jokiu0107 never took his foot off the gas.
Jokiu0107 had 12 assists, eight rebounds, three blocks and was 20-for-33 from the field in his 41 minutes of action. The next leading scorer for Denver was Paul Milsap with just 14 points. Jokiu0107 is the first Nuggets player since Carmelo Anthony to have 50 points in a game.
