WASHINGTON – The five-city, two-country road trip ended here Wednesday night with more than a dozen Serbian flags surrounding the court from doting fans.
In what occasionally sounded like a Nuggets home game, two-time reigning MVP Nikola Jokic gave some of his countrymen reason to cheer as he destroyed Washington’s meager defense. The Nuggets, following his lead, cruised to a convincing, 118-104 win, to cap their road trip at 3-2.
Jokic ended the evening with 31 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists, eventually subbing out with under three minutes remaining, perhaps to avoid any accusations of stat-padding.
