The Denver Nuggets made it look easy on Thursday night, beating the Detroit Pistons, 119-100.
At the center of the big win was Nikola Jokic who had yet another fantastic game.
This time, he was good for 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists.
Jokic looked too fast for his opponents at one point in the game.
James Wiseman was trying to guard Jokic and was doing all he could.
But Jokic moved with such power and unpredictable speed that Wiseman couldn’t keep up and Jokic was able to score his two points.

After scoring on Wiseman, Jokic had a look on his face as if he was welcoming him to the club of athletes who couldn’t stop him.
Jokic has long been one of the hardest players to defend.
It’s not just because of his immense size and his ability to get a bucket.
But Jokic is also dangerous because he has some of the best passing skills in the history of the league.
Even if he isn’t scoring, he can find a Nuggets star who will.
Jokic always has two or three options at all times and that makes him sometimes impossible to slow down.
As for Wiseman, he has had a good time in Detroit since joining the Pistons a few weeks ago.
He is now averaging 13.2 points and 9 rebounds a game.
His move to the Pistons might have been the change of scenery needed after a lackluster start to the year with the Golden State Warriors.
But even all of Wiseman’s renewed skills can’t manage a two-time MVP.
