DENVER (AP) Nikola Jokic had 35 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists, and the Denver Nuggets<\/a> rallied from a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Portland Trail Blazers<\/a> 137-132 in overtime on Monday night.<\/p>\n Denver (51-28) moved into third place in the Western Conference with its season-high ninth straight win. Jokic recorded his 33rd triple-double and Jamal Murray scored seven of his 20 points in overtime to move the Nuggets a half-game ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers (50-28).<\/p>\n Portland (40-39) had its three-game winning streak snapped and dropped into ninth in the West, a half-game behind the Los Angeles Clippers.<\/p>\n Denver overcame 30 points from Toumani Camara, who hit eight of the Blazers’ franchise-record 25 3-pointers. Deni Avdija added 26 points and was 13 of 14 from the line to help Portland build a 115-99 lead with 8:13 left in the fourth.<\/p>\n The Nuggets, like they did in an overtime win against San Antonio on Saturday, rallied behind Jokic’s big night. He scored 10 points in the fourth and sparked a 21-5 run to close within one. Avdija hit two free throws to make it 123-120 but Aaron Gordon\u2019s corner 3-pointer tied it with 1:12 left in regulation.<\/p>\n Avdija missed a 3-pointer, Gordon, who finished with 23 points, hit a baseline 20-footer to give the Nuggets a 125-123 lead and Avdija’s layup tied it with 20 seconds left. Jokic missed at the buzzer to send the game into overtime.<\/p>\n Gordon and Murray each hit a 3-pointer to open the extra period to give Denver a six-point lead. Murray’s two free throws and a dunk made it 135-128, and he fed Jokic for a layup to seal it.<\/p>\n Portland led by 14 at halftime and stretched it to 96-78 late in the third.<\/p>\n Trail Blazers: At San Antonio on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n Nuggets: Host Memphis on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n AP NBA: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/NBA<\/p>\n \n Copyright 2026 STATS LLC and Associated Press.
