The National Basketball Association played three games in the regular season.
Three regular season games were played last night in the NBA. The most intense took place in Portland, where the local team hosted Denver.
Before the last quarter, the visitors lost -10. However, thanks to the excellent game of their leader – the Serb Nikola Jokic, they managed to turn the tide of the match and took the victory 121:120.
Note that Jokic was just one pass short of completing a triple-double in this matchup.
