Tuesday night’s four game NBA slate had to compete with Game 4 of the World Series, and while the Yankee bats came alive to force a fifth game, history was made in another New York City borough.

The Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic (29 points, 18 rebounds, 16 assists) became just the second player in NBA history to reach at least 29-18-16 in a game, joining Oscar Robertson, who did it twice. Jokic’s historic night led the Nuggets (2-2) past the Brooklyn Nets (1-3) 144-139 in a high scoring overtime affair as the Nuggets played an extra five minutes for the second night in a row.

Jamal Murray (8-for-19) and Aaron Gordon (8-for-11) both scored 24 points, while Russell Westbrook (5-for-12, 10-for-10 from the line) had his best game of the season with 22 points and 5 assists.

For the Nets, Dennis Schroder was the high man with 28 points and 14 assists (10-for-18, 5-for-11 from downtown). Cam Thomas put up 26 points but was just 8-for-22 from the field and made one three-pointer. Nic Claxton was solid off the bench with 16 points and 12 rebounds.

In Minnesota, the visiting Dallas Mavericks defeated the Timberwolves (2-2) 120-114 to improve to 3-1. Kyrie Irving (35 points, 13-for-23, 6-for-8 from downtown) hit key buckets down the stretch, while Luka Doncic (24 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 10-for-27) drilled his only triple of the game in the face of the Timberwolves’ Nickel Alexander-Walker as the shot clock hit zero with 1:04 on the clock to give the Mavericks a 117-109 lead. P.J. Washington (7-for-13) added 17 points.

Anthony Edwards (37 points, 12-for-20, 7-for-13 from downtown) led the Timberwolves. He has struggled for the most part this season shooting the ball but found his stroke on Tuesday, hitting contested jump shots and triples. Julius Randle (7-for-13) put up 20 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists while Naz Reid had a solid game off the bench with 14 points and 9 rebounds.

The Sacramento Kings improved to 2-2 and dropped the Utah Jazz to 0-4 with a convincing 113-96 win on the road. All five King starters finished in double figures, with Domantas Sabonis (13-for-18) leading the way with 28 points and 11 rebounds. DeMar DeRozan added 20 points and 8 assists and De’Aaron Fox put up 19 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds, while Keegan Murray and Kevin Huerter contributed 14 apiece.

Jordan Clarkson (8-for-16) led the Jazz with 21 points, while John Collins (7-for-16) added 18 points and 7 rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench.

In San Francisco, the Stephen Curry-less Golden State Warriors dominated the last three quarters of play to easily defeat the New Orleans Pelicans 124-106. Andrew Wiggins also did not play.

The Pelicans got off to a great start and led 31-14 after the first twelve minutes. Early on and throughout the game, they received great performances from Zion Williamson (31 points, 8 rebounds, 12-for-19) and Brandon Ingram (30 points, 12-for-17), but the Warriors’ exceptional three-point shooting (21-for-46 overall) helped the team erase the deficit and ultimately coast to a win. The Warriors outscored the Pelicans 77-55 in the second half.

Buddy Hield, starting and playing 29 minutes, hit on 7-of-11 three-point attempts for 28 points, while Lindy Waters III enjoyed a career night with 21 points (8-for-13, 3-for-7 from distance). Brandon Podziemski hit three triples and finished with 19 points, while Moses Moody (6-for-8, 5-for-6 from distance) scored 17 points in 18 minutes in a starting role. He hit a big triple down the stretch that helped maintain the Warriors’ lead. Jonathan Kuminga added 17 points (6-for-13) in 28 minutes off the bench. The Warriors took the game despite being out-rebounded 44-34.

The Warriors improved to 3-1 with the win while the Pelicans fell to 2-2. It was a big win for the shorthanded Warriors and a bad loss for a Pelican team that in a competitive Western Conference needs to win games like the one that they lost on Tuesday. Despite the big nights from Williamson and Ingram, C.J. McCollum struggled with just 5 points. The lack of a primary ball handler (the injured Dejounte Murray) creates the same issue that the team had last season which is ball movement and additional playmaking. The ball sticks too often and they find themselves in late clock situations. The Pelicans are also missing the services of Trey Murphy III, a budding young player who can shoot from downtown, defends, and is a great athlete.

Both teams meet again on Wednesday at 10 p.m.
