Jokic reaches triple-double milestone as Nuggets clobber Wizards

LOS ANGELES – Nuggets star Nikola Jokic grabbed another piece of NBA history when he became just the third player to record at least one triple-double against every team he has faced in the league in a 130-110 victory over the Washington Wizards at the Ball Arena in Denver on Thursday (Friday Manila time).

Jokic was a perfect 10-for-10 from the floor on the way to 21 points, 19 rebounds and 15 assists.

"When I finish career it's going to be like a legacy," he said after joining LeBron James and Russell Westbrook as players with a triple-double against every team they have faced.

Even more importantly, the reigning champion Nuggets snapped the three-game losing streak they took into the All-Star break.

"We needed this win," added Jokic, whose 16th triple-double of the season puts him second on this season's list behind Sacramento's Domantas Sabonis, who posted his 19th with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in a 127-122 victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

Curry leads Warriors

Golden State star Stephen Curry drilled six 3-pointers on the way to 32 points to lead the Warriors to a 128-110 victory over a Los Angeles Lakers team that was missing LeBron James — who sat out with an ankle injury.

Curry set the tone early, making six of eight shots, including four 3-pointers, on the way to 16 first-quarter points. Curry added eight assists and became the first Warrior with 6,000 in the regular season.

Anthony Davis had 27 points and 15 rebounds to lead the Lakers, whose three-game winning streak ended.

In Oklahoma City, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 31 points to lead the Thunder to a 129-107 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers in a clash of Western Conference contenders.

Lu Dort added 19 points as all five starters scored in double figures for the Thunder, who moved within one game of West leaders Minnesota.

Kawhi Leonard scored 20 points and Norman Powell added 19 off the bench for the third-placed Clippers.

Brooklyn's coaching change brought no quick change of fortune as the Nets fell 121-93 to the Raptors in Toronto in their first game since Kevin Ollie took over as interim coach after Jacque Vaughn was fired.
