Nikola Jokic<\/a> seems to make some type of history<\/a> after almost every game. That was the case again on Monday after the Denver Nuggets defeated the Toronto Raptors by the score of 125-119<\/a>. Denver looked to be sleepwalking through much of the game falling behind by 21 in the third quarter. In the end, though the Nuggets improved to 9-1 since the All-Star break as they continue their ascent up the standings.<\/p>\n

People have almost become immune to reacting to Jokic\u2019s stat lines as he puts up otherworldly numbers more often than not. Last night, he recorded his 21st triple-double of the season (and the 126th of his career in the regular season) with 35 points, 17 rebounds, and 12 assists while also adding six steals.<\/p>\n
