In an electrifying NBA game, Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets scored a career-high and league-leading 61 points, achieving the highest-scoring triple-double in NBA history. Despite playing for 52 minutes and 38 seconds, Jokic also recorded 10 rebounds and 10 assists. However, the Minnesota Timberwolves clinched a thrilling 140-139 victory in double overtime. The game concluded with Nickeil Alexander-Walker making two crucial free throws with just 0.1 seconds remaining. Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 34 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists. The match saw 21 lead changes and intense playoff-like competition. Jokic’s performance marks him as the second player in NBA history to lose a game despite a 50-point triple-double, following Wilt Chamberlain in 1963. The Timberwolves have now won six consecutive games against the Nuggets, including playoff matchups.
