The Denver Nuggets extended their current win streak to 10 games, the longest such streak in the Nikola Jokic era. Jokic recorded his 34th triple-double of the season in the team's 136-119 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, bringing him within two of joining former teammate Russell Westbrook in the 200 triple-doubles club. The Nuggets' last 10-game win streak was in the 2012-13 season, before Jokic was drafted by the franchise.

What they’re saying
