With just over a minute to go, Jokić drove to his left towards the lane. As Cam Spencer came up to double Jokić, he spun away and threw a perfect left-handed behind-the-back bounce pass to a cutting Peyton Watson.

Nikola Jokic had 39 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists for his NBA-leading 12th triple-double of the season as the Denver Nuggets outlasted the Houston Rockets 128-125 in overtime on Monday night in a matchup of two of the top three teams in the Western Conference standings.
