(nba.com) Jamal Murray scored 53 points on 19‑of‑28 shooting and hit nine 3‑pointers — a season high and the second‑highest scoring night of his career. (nba.com) Nikola Jokić posted 23 points, 21 rebounds and 19 assists — one assist short of a 20‑20‑20 — following a 23‑17‑17 game against Phoenix that created a historic consecutive multi‑category stretch. (espn.com) The Nuggets’ release notes that Murray and Jokić became the first duo to produce a 50‑point game and, in the same regulation contest, a 20‑point/20‑rebound/15‑assist outing. (nba.com) Jokić’s box score pushed his career regular‑season assists past the 6,000 mark (ESPN lists 6,011 career assists), a milestone that makes him the first center to reach that total in NBA career tracking. (espn.com) Murray’s 53 added to a season that already featured at least one prior 50‑point game (Dec. 25, 2025), placing him on the list of 2025‑26 players with multiple 50‑point performances.
