Watch Westbrook, Jokic make history as teammates with multiple same-game triple-doubles

Nikola Jokic and Russell Westbrook have found a chemistry this season — when that duo is on the court the Nuggets have a +12.2 net rating. We all know Jokic as one of the greatest passers — not just passing big man, but passers overall — ever to play the game, and this season ( before Friday night), Westbrook had assisted on 84 Jokic buckets this season ( the third-highest two-man combo in the league).

That chemistry between Jokic and Westbrook was on display Friday night as both men racked up a triple-double in Denver’s win at home over Brooklyn. They became the first teammates ever to have multiple same-game triple-doubles in the same season.

Denver, at 22-15, sits fourth in the West and remains a postseason threat despite its defensive struggles (it is 19th in the league in defense). Part of the reason is the offensive chemistry between Jokic and Westbrook.
