The Denver Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Lakers 127-102 on Saturday night to hand JJ Redick's team their second-straight darkness-inducing loss in a row. Nikola Jokić was sublime scoring 34 points on 12-of-20 shooting to go along with 13 rebounds and eight assists.
If it sounds like things were easy for Jokic, and they looked pretty easy at times as well. Midway through the second quarter, Jokic found himself being guarded down low by Gabe Vincent. Jamal Murray wasted no time throwing it in to the three-time MVP as two other Lakers defenders—6'8" Rui Hachimura and 6'10" Anthony Davis—converged on him at the basket.
