Certainly Nikola Jokic achieved a new triple-double with 15 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds, becoming the pivot with the most triple-doubles in history by overtaking Wilt Chamberlain. But the Rockets “franchise player” also lost 10 balls and we therefore prefer to highlight his teammate, Aaron Gordon.
Ghost against the Lakers and then the Jazz, the strong winger woke up during the revenge against Los Angeles, and he had his best game of the season that night.
Extremely aggressive and dexterous from the start, he scored 23 of his 27 points in the first half to start the Nuggets. For Mike Malone, it’s that version of Aaron Gordon that Denver needs every night.
“Aaron Gordon, tonight, the start of the match that he gave us… He was really in attack mode” explains the coach. “He never stopped. When he has that aggressive mentality, he’s a terrific player. »
His final line of stats is almost perfect: 27 points at 10/13 shooting including 3/4 from afar, 5 rebounds, 3 assists.
