Jokic's 19 Points and 13 Rebounds Lead Nuggets Past Pacers 114-102 in Mexico City, the NBA's 35th Game in Mexico
The Denver Nuggets beat the Indiana Pacers 114-102 at Arena CDMX in Mexico City on Saturday night, November 7, winning for the fourth time in five games. It was the NBA's 35th game in Mexico since the league first brought games there in 1992, played before a sellout crowd of more than 20,000.
Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 10 of his 19 points in the first quarter and finished with 13 rebounds and eight assists, just shy of a triple-double. Cameron Johnson scored a season-high 18 points, Jamal Murray added 16, and Spencer Jones, returning from a hamstring injury, scored 13 points with six rebounds in his season debut. Denver led by as many as 27 before Indiana cut the margin to 102-95 in the fourth quarter, but the Nuggets held on.
Pascal Siakam led Indiana with 23 points in his 700th career NBA game, passing 13,000 career points (13,003). Denver improved to 5-3 and Indiana fell to 3-7. The Nuggets visit Houston on Monday; the Pacers visit Dallas on Monday.
