Nikola Jokic shuts down “Baby Jokic” talk, praises Alperen Sengun’s growth after Denver Nuggets’ overtime win.

The Denver Nuggets picked up a huge 128-125 win over the Houston Rockets on Monday night, led by an incredible Nikola Jokic performance. The three-time MVP dropped 39 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists on 13-27 shooting from the field, but after the game, he still recognized the greatness of Rockets star Kevin Durant.

Houston Rockets coach Ime Udoka was less than pleased with the officiating in his team's 128-125 overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets on Monday night.

In a battle waged between two of the biggest teams in basketball, the Nuggets made their last stand by going small.

Jamal Murray had another standout night for Denver offensively with 35 points and five assists. Kevin Durant chipped in for 25 points shooting over 50% on the other side in a bounce-back game from his last meeting against the Nuggets, and in turn, really made for a must-watch event in the Mile High on Monday night.
