9. Jokic’s monster triple-double seals win
In a late January matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers, Nikola Jokic had one of his most dominant games of the year. The Sixers, missing their premier interior defender Joel Embiid, had no answer for the Joker on the offensive end and on the glass.
Jokic picked apart Philly’s defense from the jump, posting 20 points and 12 rebounds in the first half.
