After four straight losses, the Denver Nuggets are back on track. Serbian big man Nikola Jokic was on fire as he led his team to a 119-100 win over the Detroit Pistons.
He was just one assist shy of a triple-double as he recorded 30 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists that would help Denver get a much-needed win after some tough losses.
Jokic was not the only Euro big man dominating last night. Lituanina center Domantas Sabonis had a big night at the office. With 24 points, 21 rebounds, and five assists he led the Sacramento Kingsi in Brooklyn 101-96.
Giannis Antetokounmpo also had a good game with 25 points, nine rebounds, and five assists, but the Bucks fell short against Indiana 139-123.
Paolo Banchero continues his good streak of games. The Italian had 18 points and eight rebounds as Orlando lost to the Phoenix Suns 116-113. The German Franz Wagner added 16 points and 10 rebounds.
