Despite the absences, Spurs and Nuggets gave us a great match this Tuesday evening, thanks in particular to a huge duel between Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokic. But as is often the case, it is the Joker who wins.

With Devin Vassell, Jeremy Sochan and Keldon Johnson absent, the Spurs had to rotate their squad this Tuesday evening against the Nuggets, to the point where Sidy Cissoko was allowed a few minutes.

But it’s difficult to do better than Nikola Jokic, author of 42 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists in this game.

However, opposite, Victor Wembanyama came close to a quadruple-double.

Wembanyama and Jokic mercilessly in their duel!

The Frenchman was clearly not far from the feat, but he missed a little time.

He still finished with 23 points (9/29 shooting only), 15 rebounds, 8 assists and 9 blocks, thus confirming his status as leader in this league.

Too bad the defeat was at the end, although he was entitled to a crazy sequence against Jokic.

2 shots and a block for Wemby against a poster for Jokic: the two men enjoyed this sequence, just like their match.

The supporters are impressed by this duel, which has only just begun, with a vengeful Wembanyama here next time.

Good news ? Spurs and Nuggets will meet one last time on April 13.

The present and the future

Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama offered another nice show for the fans, with a final victory for the Nuggets, once again.

But this duel risks setting the web ablaze for years to come.
