O Denver Nuggets perdia por 23 pontos, mas venceu o New Orleans Pelicans por 141-135 na prorrogação na noite de sábado, com Nikola Jokić marcando oito dos seus 35 pontos no tempo extra, além de 15 rebotes e 10 assistências.
Foi o 199º triplo-duplo da temporada regular na carreira dele, atrás apenas de Russell Westbrook, que se aposentou com 209.
Os próprios torcedores do Denver vaiaram a equipe quando ela foi para o intervalo perdendo por 73-57, e Jokić não escondeu o incômodo depois.
“Fomos vaiados no nosso primeiro jogo em casa, e eu acho que aqueles torcedores que nos vaiaram não precisam mais vir”, disse Jokić. “Se vocês nos acompanham, sabem que nunca desistimos e que já voltamos de situações muito piores. Então, se me perguntarem, eles não são mais bem-vindos.”
Jamal Murray fez 42 pontos, enquanto o novato Trevon Brazille marcou a estreia em casa com 17, sete deles na prorrogação — Denver liderou cedo no tempo extra. Sua bola de três do canto, com 1:25 restando, colocou os Nuggets em 133-129.
As lesões também moldaram a rotação: Denver não tinha Cam Johnson, afastado por um problema no tornozelo, nem Alpha Diallo, com entorse no punho, enquanto Julian Strawther e Spencer Jones seguiam indisponíveis.
O New Orleans teve Trey Murphy III como maior pontuador, com 26 pontos. Dejounte Murray acrescentou 22, e Derik Queen e Zion Williamson contribuíram com 17 cada. Jamahl Mosley, em sua primeira temporada como técnico, perdeu os três jogos.
Os donos da casa acertaram 65,9% antes do intervalo e construíram 23 pontos de vantagem. Denver reduziu para 16, e um terceiro quarto de 32 pontos — 22 deles de Jokić e Murray — diminuiu ainda mais, mas o New Orleans chegou ao último período 19 à frente.
Denver apagou a diferença com bolas de três de Murray e Jokić e uma enterrada de costas de Aaron Gordon, e teve a chance de passar com 17 segundos restando, mas Murray acertou dois dos três lances livres para empatar o placar.
