In a high-octane, back-and-forth battle, Denver held the upper hand for most of the game, leading 102-91 heading into the fourth. But Phoenix responded with a 34-23 run, forcing overtime on a clutch Kevin Durant three at the buzzer.

Jokić became the first player in NBA history to notch a 30-20-20 game, stuffing the stat sheet in 44 minutes. Aaron Gordon (27 points, 7-of-10 from deep) and Christian Braun (25 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists) provided key support. On the other end, Devin Booker (34 points) and Durant (29 points, 9 rebounds) kept the Suns competitive.

The Nuggets took control in OT, executing down the stretch to secure their 40th win of the season, keeping pace with the second-seeded Lakers in the West.
