Watch Westbrook and Jokic make history as teammates with multiple triple-doubles in the same game

Nikola Jokic and Russell Westbrook have hit it off this season – when that duo is on the court, the Nuggets have a net rating of +12.2. We all know Jokic as one of the greatest passers – not just passing big men, but passers in general – to ever play the game, and this season (before Friday night) Westbrook had assisted on 84 Jokic buckets this season (the on second highest two-man combination in the competition).

That chemistry between Jokic and Westbrook was on display Friday night when both men scored a triple-double in Denver’s win at home over Brooklyn. They became the first teammates ever to have multiple triple-doubles in the same game in the same season.

Denver is fourth in the West at 22-15 and remains a postseason threat despite its defensive woes (it ranks 19th in defense in the league). Part of the reason is the offensive chemistry between Jokic and Westbrook.
