The 157 points were also the most for any game of the 2025-26 NBA Regular Season.<\/p>\n<p>In just 29 minutes of action, Serbian superstar Nikola Jokic led the charge with 32 points on 10-of-15 shooting, including three triples. He nearly posted a triple-double, adding nine rebounds, seven assists, and four steals as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurohoops.net\/basket\/denver-nuggets\/?lang=en\" title=\"Nuggets\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"auto-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Nuggets<\/a> improved to the season tally to 36\u201321.<\/p>\n<p>Coming off the bench for head coach David Adelman, Lithuanian center Jonas Valanciunas contributed six points, seven rebounds, and one assist in 12 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>On the losing side, Israeli forward Deni Avdija registered a double-double with 15 points and 13 assists. \u201cI don\u2019t think we need to overreact. I don\u2019t think we need to take it as something bad. We came back from the break. We are still finding our rhythm. These ain\u2019t excuses, but we got to defend better, We got to have some more pride. But we are going to bounce back,\u201d he mentioned after his side fell to 27-30 with a lopsided loss.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Fellow starter Belgian Toumani Camara finished with 10 points in 26 minutes, while Czech reserve V\u00edt Krejci added 11 points in 17 minutes of play.
