CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Nikola Jokic had 22 points, 17 assists and 14 rebounds to pass Oscar Robertson for the second-most triple-doubles in NBA history and the Denver Nuggets ended a three-game skid with a 136-120 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Matas Buzelis scored 21 points and Collin Sexton added 17 for the Bulls, who have lost four straight.<\/p>\n
The Bulls led 104-97 after closing the third period on a 16-2 run, but Denver started the final quarter on a 20-2 spurt to take the lead for good. Jokic and Julian Strawther capped the run with consecutive 3-pointers.<\/p>\n
Chicago went the first six minutes of the fourth before making its first field goal and finished the final period 5 for 17 from the floor.<\/p>\n
Jokic had nine points, 11 rebounds and seven assists in 17 first-half minutes, but the Bulls led 65-59 at the intermission.<\/p>\n
