The Denver Nuggets produced a top quality performance to defeat the Eastern Conference leaders the Boston Celtics.
The Nuggets came away with a 115-109 win as they narrow the gap on the Western Conference leaders the Timberwolves.
The Nuggets and Thunder trail the Timberwolves by one win.
Nikola Jokic was the star player for Denver with a triple double, 32 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.
The Joker was the mainstay of the team and almost singlehandedly dragged them to a huge win over the high flying Celtics.
Jaylen Brown tried his best to bring Boston the win with 41 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists.
It was a case of the two most in form players in the league bashing heads and Jokic came away with the honors and the Nuggets the win.
Denver next take on the Jazz on Sunday while the Celtics travel to Phoenix and a date with the Suns.
