NBA Euro-watch: Nikola Jokic has big night in win

By George Efkarpides / info@eurohoops.net

Every game is very important for the Denver Nuggets as they fight for playoff berth and seeding and Nikola Jokic is starting to heat up.

The Serbian stud had everything rolling as he finished with 29 points, 18 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and a block “toying” with the Dallas front court.

Dirk Nowitzki had 6 points and 4 boards for the losing side.

Evan Fournier scored a career-high 32 points, including 6 three-pointers leading the Magic to a 108-102 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Mario Hezonja added 10 points in a win.

Nemanja Bjelica scored 2 points before getting ejected due to a scuffle with Aaron Afflalo, that saw the later throwing a punch at the Serbian forward.
