Nikola Jokic led the Denver Nuggets to victory over the San Antonio Spurs, scoring a game-high 40 points and ending the Spurs' 11-match winning streak with a 136-134 victory in overtime. Both players are among the leading contenders for this season's Most Valuable Player award. Jokica, a three-time winner of the NBA's MVP award, and Wembanyama, both praised each other after the match. Both teams have already clinched a place in the post-season play-offs, but their final ranking is still uncertain.
