The unselfish play of the Denver Nuggets has compensated for their overall medium performance on defense

The budding Denver Superstar Nikola Jokic had a cold in London and still scored 27 points with seven assists against the Pacers. But the important theme is that the Denver team had 37 assists due to unselfish play.

Then he brought his ‘Unselfish Disease’ back to the states as the Nuggets performed magic on the Magic with 33 assists. Nikola delivered 30 points and five assists. The 30 points was his all-time high.

Emmanuel Mudiay really caught the bug as he dealt out a personal record of 13 assists to defeat Orlando in Denver 126 to 112.

This assistance persistence is the primary reason for Denver’s explosive success the last two games.

This passing bug will go a long way to continue this effectiveness on the Nugget’s next stretch of games, a stretch that features them going against the San Antonio Spurs one game.

If Jokic continues playing at this elite level and it keeps translating to wins, then the sky is the limit for this young core.
