DENVER — It was a brushstroke of brilliance on a painting crafted hundreds of times before. Nikola Jokic pump-faked from the top of the key, coaxing Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma’s right foot a step too high. Two dribbles came to get past Kuzma, and a left-to-right spin to shed him, setting up the threat of a hook.

Nikola Jokic has broken just about every record in Denver Nuggets franchise history. Yet, somehow, he figured out a way to break his own record on Wednesday nig

This win was particularly notable as it marked the return of star center Nikola Jokic, who had missed five games due to a left ankle impingement and a sore right elbow. Jokic’s comeback was nothing short of spectacular, as he recorded his 30th triple-double of the season with 39 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists.
