The Jazz started strong, taking a 12-point lead early in the game. However, Jokic’s 19 points in the first quarter alone helped the Nuggets rally and eventually take the lead.

The Nuggets’ victory was also notable for Russell Westbrook’s impact on the game. Westbrook’s energy and playmaking ability helped the Nuggets find their footing and come storming back in the first quarter. His ability to find Jokic for several buckets and his defensive recoveries were key factors in the Nuggets’ win.

Overall, the Nuggets’ 122-103 victory over the Jazz was a testament to their team’s depth and resilience. With Jokic leading the charge, the Nuggets were able to overcome a slow start and secure a convincing win.
