Nikola Jokic's ultra-rare feat helps send Thunder to first loss of season

Reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic joined some pretty exclusive company Wednesday night as the Denver Nuggets handed the Oklahoma City Thunder their first loss of the season.
Jokic logged his fourth triple-double in eight games – scoring 23 points, pulling down 20 rebounds and handing out 16 assists. In the process he became only the second player since Wilt Chamberlain in 1968 to have a 20/20/15 game, joining current teammate Russell Westbrook (who did it on April 2, 2019).
Jokic's heroics – along with 29 points from Westbrook – helped the Nuggets come back from a 16-point deficit for a 124-122 home victory.
On the season, Jokic is averaging 28.8 points, 13.5 rebounds and 11.0 assists per game, while shooting 53.2% from the field and 51.4% from 3-point range. He currently leads the league in both rebounding and assists, something no player has done in a single season in NBA history.
