It was a historic night for the Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic on Thursday night as they would continue their winning streak with a huge win against the Milwaukee Bucks. It was a high scoring game which ended in favor of the Nuggets 134-122, but one Nugget player really showed off his talents in a record breaking day.
Nikola Jokic really put up an argument on why he deserved to participate in this years All-Star festivities in the win as he scored, and rebounded in record time. Jokic would enter himself in the NBA record books as he recorded the fastest triple-double in NBA History with a total time of 14 minutes and 33 seconds according to Harrison Wind of the Denver Nuggets.
My count on Jokic’s historic triple-double – 14 minutes and 33 seconds, which smashes the previous record by over 2 minutes. Even better, a strong Serbian contingent showed up in Milwaukee to see it live – pic.twitter.com/1zE7yq2zVk

It was one of the most impressive victories of the season for the Nuggets as Jokic stole the show. Jokic might of received his double-double early in the game but he did not stop at all. He would finish with 30 points, 15 rebounds and a career-high 17 assists in the game.
He started with a fast double-double and ended the game with an impressive triple-double. The Nuggets along with Jokic are riding high into the All-Star break as they will get plenty of rest to prepare for their next matchup on Friday February 23rd against the San Antonio Spurs.
If Jokic can have nights such as Thursday's game, the Nuggets can be a legit threat near the end of the season and may even cause some noise in the playoffs.
