Nikola Jokić’s 55-Point Masterpiece: Is This the Most Unbelievable Season in NBA History?

As counterintuitive as it seems, there’s some logic to it: Over the course of Jokić’s career, the Nuggets had gone 186–63 (.747 winning percentage) when he’d dished 10 or more assists, compared to 22-15 (.594) when he scored 40 or more points. And, in one sense, Lue’s tactics worked. No other Nugget scored more than 18 points, with Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon and Co. combining to shoot 26-for-61 (42.6%) from the field and 8-for-28 (28.6%) from 3-point land; Jokić finished with just six assists, a season-low.
