The Nuggets’ victory was fueled by Nikola Jokić’s triple-double and a breakout performance from Spencer Jones, who delivered an unexpected scoring surge in extended minutes.

Denver took control in the third quarter by capitalizing on turnovers and turning them into easy transition points, building a lead Minnesota couldn’t recover from.
