Denver simply defeated the current NBA champion Milwaukee with a great team game on the night between Sunday and Monday with a score of 136:100 away.
The Nuggets celebrated convincingly against the champions in Wisconsin, and Jokic missed one jump for the triple-double.
He spent only 28 minutes on the field and recorded 18 points, nine rebounds, and 15 assists.
He shot 5/5 for two, 2/4 for three points, and 2/2 from the penalty line.
He opened the game with two misses, but he played his teammates and after the first quarter he had as many as eight assists.
Jokic rested and came in just before the end of the first half and recorded another assist and Denver had +5 on the big break.
The Serbian center then added gas in the third quarter and hit four tied shots without a miss, so Denver went to +19 before the last quarter.
There was no return for Milwaukee, Jokic could rest, the reservists did their job and almost doubled the advantage in the end.
Aaron Gordon was the most efficient at Denver with 24 points, Morris scored 18, Barton 15, Forbes 14 and Hyland 13 points.
At the Bucks, Antetokounmpo stood out with 29, Holliday with 14, and Portis and Allen with 11 points each.
