Jokic has recorded double-doubles in back-to-back games, his first two of the season.

Zapis ESPN-a o Denverovom pojačanju od ove sezone:

Denver paid big money to pry Paul Millsap from Atlanta because the Nuggets knew he’d be a trustworthy scorer in the clutch.

Millsap provided a perfectly timed reminder in his Atlanta homecoming

He scored seven of his 16 points in the fourth quarter and helped Denver protect a close lead by scoring on layups in back-to-back possessions with less than four minutes remaining. He added another basket and free throw as Denver blocked Atlanta’s comeback attempt.

„When the game is in the balance in that fourth quarter, that’s what your $30 million-a-year man has to do,“ Denver coach Michael Malone said of Millsap. „This guy steps up and makes plays.“

Millsap was a four-time All-Star for the Hawks before signing a three-year, $90 million deal with Denver.
