Knicks stifle Nikola Jokic, Nuggets to roll to fifth straight victory
NY Post
After they made him look average, the best basketball player on the planet declared the Knicks a legit title contender.
“They’re playing really well,” Nikola Jokic said. “They’re well coached, they’re pushing the pace, and in the half-court they know what they’re doing. So they’re a really good team.
“I think they are the favorites — not the favorites, but I think top five candidates for the title.”
Besieged by early foul trouble, and flustered late by the Knicks’ aggressiveness, Jokic, the Nuggets’ triple-double machine, produced a single-double with just 17 points in New York’s fifth straight victory, 122-112 over Denver on Wednesday.
Jalen Brunson was the best player on either team at MSG, racking up 30 points with 15 assists.
The streaking Knicks (32-16), who now have consecutive statement wins after destroying the Grizzlies on Monday, remain one game back of second in the East behind the Celtics, who blew out the Bulls on Wednesday.
