Why is it so hard for Okafor to score, but Zeng Xingyang seems to score so effortlessly?

Coach Brown on the sidelines also stops shouting, knowing this game is lost for sure.

The Nuggets hand the 76ers a crushing 58-point defeat on their home court!!

His 40 points also set a new career-high.

Jokic achieved another triple-double with 13 points, 12 rebounds, and 14 assists.

The Nuggets players have come to trust Jokic more, frequently handing the ball to him for organization and coordination.

A rookie scores 40+, and another rookie achieves a triple-double for the second time.

So, is it that the Nuggets are destined to soar this year?
