Jamal Murray’s season-high 41 paces Nuggets in third straight win

DENVER — Nikola Jokic has made so many pretty passes that by the end of Saturday night, he didn’t need to look.

He swung a no-look dime to Aaron Gordon midway through the fourth quarter to notch his NBA-leading 18th triple-double, and the Nuggets won, again, this time knocking off the visiting Atlanta Hawks, 128-108 for their third win in a row. Denver improved to 37-16 on the season and 18-0 in games where Jokic registers a triple-double.

But despite another efficient triple-double, Jokic’s counterpart, Jamal Murray, turned Ball Arena into his own personal practice court. Murray reeled off a season-high 41 points, capping his outlandish showing with an emphatic dunk off a Nuggets steal.
