DENVER (AP) - Nikola Jokic was cool after his eighth triple-double of the season.

With good reason: He was covered in ice packs - one on his right wrist and another on his back, no doubt courtesy of his tussle with big man counterpart Andre Drummond. Then, off to the hot tub.

Jokic's hot hand accounted for 23 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, Jamal Murray added 26 points and the Denver Nuggets' playoff hopes received a much-needed boost with a 120-113 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night.
