A Denver team led by Serbs at home 124: 111 (36:26, 34:34, 36:23, 18:28) left no hope for the Houston Rockets basketball players (0-2).
At the end of the fourth quarter, the teams scored 23 points (122: 99) and only in the closing minutes did the Rockets avoid getting crushed.
Jokičius, who posted an impressive triple-double for the winners, scored 19 points (7/10 doubles, 1/1 trit., 2/3 penalties) in 34 minutes, bounced 12 and took 3 balls, and dished out 18 assists. The latter is a new basketball record for the NBA. So far, the high record in the NBA has been 17 assists in a single game.
Facundo Campazzo, new to the court at the end of the match, managed to add 4 points (0/1 double, 4/4 penalty) during this time, to bounce the ball, make a mistake and commit two mistakes.
The defeated Rockets were led by James Harden with 34 points (5/7 double, 5/9 trit, 9/9 penalty), 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 errors in 31 minutes.
John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Gordon are still unable to help the Texas team due to the coronavirus.
