The Denver Nuggets earned their fourth consecutive victory on Friday night, defeating the Miami Heat by a final score of 135-122. This was the return from injury for starting point guard Jamal Murray, who had missed the last three games under the NBA’s concussion protocol.

Playing 35 minutes in his return, Murray scored 28 points, six assists and four rebounds. Murray re-entered Denver’s starting lineup, sending Russell Westbrook back to the bench. The 17-year veteran recorded 10 assists in just 24 minutes.

While Denver received contributions from up and down its roster, it was three-time MVP Nikola Jokic who once again led the way. With 30 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds, Jokic recorded the 135th triple-double of his career.

In addition to the victory, Jokic made NBA history with his statistics. With 30 points, 14 assists, 11 rebounds and 84 percent shooting, Jokic joined NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain as the second player in NBA history to record that line with at least 80 percent shooting. field goals (via StatHead from Basketball Reference).

This was Jokic’s third career 30-point triple-double on at least 80 percent shooting. Only Chamberlain has more, which is appropriate considering how many lists include just Jokic and Chamberlain.

Jokic, already a three-time MVP, will compete for the award again this season if the Nuggets continue to win games.
