This is how you make a MVP case.
Friday evening, Nikola Jokic set up a line that no one in the history of the NBA has never recorded: 31 points, 21 rebounds and 22 assists. He became the first NBA player in history with a triple-double of more than 30 points, more than 20 rebounds and more than 20 assists.
The Nuggets needed every historic Jokic night to beat the Suns, going on overtime to win 149-141. Aaron Gordon made seven 3 points on his path at 27 points, and Christain Braun had 25 for the Nuggets.
A desperate team Suns went out with real energy on Friday evening, but the Nuggets equaled it and led almost the whole match, by 21 at the top and by 11 entering the fourth quarter. Just like a few nights before the clippers, the Suns rallied late and obtained a Kevin pointer during to force overtime.

The Nuggets began the additional period on a 7-0 race and checked the rest of the path.
To make Jokic Batte Shai Gilgeous -Alexander – the other leading and favorite candidate of current bets – to win MVP, he will need nuggets to stay a seeded among the first three in the West, and he needs moments of signature that stick in the heads of voters and make him undeniable.
This game will stay in everyone’s head for a while.
