All-time great centre simply could not be stopped as sloppy Raptors wasted 10-point early lead.

Nikola Jokic recorded his 201st career triple-double to lead the Denver Nuggets to a 128-109 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Jokic dominated with 32 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists, shooting efficiently as Denver dismantled Toronto's defense. Jamal Murray contributed 14 points and seven assists for the Nuggets, while RJ Barrett led the visiting Raptors with 22 points in the defeat.
Toronto initially led during the first half, carrying a 67-64 advantage near the break before Denver seized control with a 41-15 run in the third quarter. Scottie Barnes scored 17 points but committed five of Toronto's costly turnovers. Raptors center Jakob Poeltl returned from absence to play off the bench, but Toronto could not contain Jokic's dominant interior performance.
