Nikola Jokic became the second player in NBA history to tally 200 career triple-doubles, and Christian Braun knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers during a critical late-game stretch as the Denver Nuggets held off the host New Orleans Pelicans 104-91 on Wednesday.

It was Jokic’s second triple-double of the season, both coming against New Orleans, as the 12-year veteran finished with 21 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. Jokic ​joined Russell Westbrook, the all-time leader in triple-doubles who piled up 209 in 18 seasons.

All five Nuggets players finished with double-digit points, led by Jamal Murray’s 23. Aaron Gordon registered a double-double of 15 points and 11 rebounds, ‌Braun added 12 points, and Trevon Brazile chipped in with 11 points.

Derik Queen came off the bench to post a double-double of 11 points and 12 rebounds, ​but no other Pelican except for Zion Williamson (game-high 25 points) scored more than 11.
