Nuggets beat Blazers; home win streak at 14

Nikola Jokic had 36 points as part of his 13th triple-double of the season to offset a 44-point performance from Damian Lillard, and the Denver Nuggets won their 14th straight game at Ball Arena by topping the Portland Trail Blazers 122-113.

Jokic also had 12 rebounds and 10 assists as the Nuggets improved to 13-0 this season when the two-time reigning NBA MVP records a tripledouble.

The Nuggets were without coach Michael Malone, who missed the game after entering the league’s health and safety protocols. Acting coach David Adelman stepped in and the Western Conference-leading Nuggets didn’t miss a beat.
