The Denver Nuggets secured a commanding 113-100 victory over the New York Knicks, propelled by another stellar performance from their versatile forward. Michael Porter Jr. delivered an impressive 31-point outing, shooting 13 of 16 from the field, including a highlight-worthy self-assist off the glass for a dunk. Porter's remarkable display also saw him sink three 3-pointers, breaking Dale Ellis' single-season team record of 192 with a total of 193 triples for the season.
Reflecting on his outstanding scoring spree, Porter credited his success to incorporating tweaks into his game, although he humorously acknowledged the rejuvenating break he enjoyed in Cabo. Porter emphasized the significance of his improved health and career-high 69 games played this season in achieving this milestone. Meanwhile, Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets' standout center, notched his 22nd triple-double of the season, contributing 30 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists to the victory.
