Jamal Murray erupts for 33, Nikola Jokic logs 17th triple-double in Nuggets win

DENVER — If Jamal Murray was disappointed about being bypassed for the All-Star Game, he dwelled on it for five minutes.

Facing All-Star guard Steph Curry, Murray erupted for 33 points, and the Nuggets pounded the Warriors, 134-117 on Thursday night. Denver improved to 36-16 on the season, including 24-4 at Ball Arena.

Nikola Jokic authored his NBA-leading 17th triple-double, finishing with 22 points, 13 rebounds and 16 assists. Denver improved to 17-0 in games Jokic has registered a triple-double. Beyond the gaudy stats, it’s Jokic’s efficiency (he shot 9-of-13 from the floor) that has him in pole position for another MVP.
