First triple-double for Bruce Brown

For the second time in a row, Nikola Jokic missed a triple-double by a breath. Against Detroit (31 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds), he missed a rebound, while against Oklahoma City (39 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists), it was an assist that he missed.

In the locker room, a reporter reported this information to Bruce Brown, making a mistake. Our colleague indeed reverses the statistics of the “Joker” and explains at the back that the double MVP took only 9 rebounds in the victory, after overtime, against the Thunder.

“I stole some rebounds from him, that’s obvious”, then comments Bruce Brown. “I have always been focused on the rebound because I like to play transitions. That’s how I score. We could have done a triple-double together, but clearly, I stole some rebounds from him. »

If we put aside this small error, the finding remains the same: the former Brooklyn was excellent on the rebound and he managed his first triple-double with 17 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, not to mention 4 interceptions as well. It’s one of the best matches of his career.

“He’s a winner”notes Michael Malone for ESPN. “He is a player that we want in his team. Bruce always gives his all. He leaves his heart on the floor every night. His stats are impressive in 45 minutes. »

Over the last seven games, Bruce Brown confirms his status as a valuable Swiss army knife for the Nuggets with 14 points at 48% shooting success, 40% at 3-pts, 7.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.4 stolen ball on average.
