Nikola Jokic tallied 16 points, 16 rebounds, and 8 assists for the Nuggets in the losing effort.<\/p>\n<p>After the game Nikola Jokic spoke about the Timberwolves defense:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They\u2019ve been playing very well all season, especially on defense. Their entire lineup is very aggressive, they know what they\u2019re doing. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to score against them.
