Nuggets center Nikola Jokic put on a scoring clinic in the Nuggets' 128-117 win over the Utah Jazz where he tied his career-high of 47 points. The Jazz went into Ball Arena with an 11-game winning streak and were the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference before the upset loss.
"I'm just happy that we won the game just because it is against, at this moment, the best team in the NBA," Jokic said after the game. "They're playing amazing."
Everything was clicking for the Nuggets from the tip and they exploded for 43 points in the first quarter and never looked back.
