It was a nice bounce back win for the Denver Nuggets, highlighted by some strong performances from Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and others. Cam Johnson is back just in time, and Julian Strawther shined as a starter. Christian Braun also had a solid performance, but fans are still concerned about his offense.

On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn reacts to the Denver Nuggets 136-120 win vs Chicago Bulls in which Nikola Jokic made HISTORY, passing Oscar Robertson on the all-time triple-double list. Cam Johnson made an impressive return, while the Nuggets had several players shine in a victory to break a losing streak. He also defends Christian Braun, who fans have been exceedingly hard on since his return to the court.
