Nikola Jokic recorded a 56-point triple-double and broke a record set by Steph Curry as the Denver Nuggets beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 142-138 on Christmas Day.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Serb hit 56 points, recorded 16 rebounds and 15 assists – becoming the first player in NBA history to hit at least 55 points, 15 rebounds and 15 assists in a triple-double. <\/p>\n

Three-time MVP Jokic hit 18 of his 56 points in overtime, breaking Curry’s record of 17 overtime points from 2016.<\/p>\n

The Timberwolves took the game in Denver to overtime after clawing back a 15-point deficit in the final five minutes of the game. <\/p>\n

Anthony Edwards top-scored for the Timberwolves with 44 points, including the game-tying three that took the game to overtime. <\/p>\n

But the 24-year-old was ejected in the extra period for arguing over foul calls as the Nuggets claimed the win. <\/p>\n

The Nuggets are third in the Western Conference, with the Timberwolves in fifth. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
