Nikola Jokic made NBA history by recording the first-ever 30-20-20 stat line, posting 31 points, 21 rebounds, and 22 assists in the Denver Nuggets' 149-141 overtime win against the Phoenix Suns. His performance surpassed Wilt Chamberlain's record for the most assists by a center in a game, with his career-high 22 assists.
