The Denver Nuggets secured their fifth consecutive victory by edging out the Dallas Mavericks, 122-120, despite a remarkable 43-point performance from Kyrie Irving.
Nikola Jokic made history with a triple-double of 37 points, 18 rebounds, and 15 assists, becoming the first player to achieve this feat. Michael Porter Jr. sealed the win with a clutch one-handed shot in the closing moments.
Irving reflected on his performance, calling it 'empty' despite its efficiency, and acknowledged the need for improvement in the Mavericks' defensive strategy.
