SERBIAN MACHINE: Jokic on rampage with new triple-double, only three players have more in entire NBA! (VIDEO)

Serbian center scored 22 points, had 13 rebounds and 8 assists. He was two assists short from marking another triple-double this season. He scored again greatly, he worked great with his players and dominated under the hoop.

He had few spectacular points, and he was confusing his opponents with assists. He displayed the arsenal of passing, he was passing to players from all over the field, without looking, with lucid moves, and he opened easy shots or points under the hoop.

However, Denver suffered a defeat at the end in the incredible match and dramatic finish.

Most responsible for it was James Harden, who scored 39 points, including the last point for the victory after the amazing entrance in the final seconds of the game. Nuggets defense was a bit muddled and didn't react in this situation and let the best player of the Rockets run the whole field and score without guards around to the final result and the win in the last seconds.

Besides Jokic, the best in the ranks of Denver were Gary Harris with 28 points and Will Barton, who scored 24. In Houston the next most efficient with Harden was Erik Gordon with 18 points.
