Bulls Stun Nuggets in Denver, Ending Winning Streak Despite Jokic’s Triple-Double

DENVER – The Chicago Bulls, fueled by clutch 3-pointers from Kevin Huerter and Nikola Vucevic in the final minutes, upset the Denver Nuggets 130-127 on Monday night, handing the reigning champions their first home loss of the season and snapping a five-game losing streak.

The Bulls overcame squandering an 18-point first-half lead and a 13-point fourth-quarter advantage thanks to a strong bench performance, outscoring the Nuggets’ reserves 66-9. Ayo Dosunmu and Josh Giddey led the Bulls’ balanced attack with 21 points each, with Giddey also grabbing 14 rebounds.

Reigning MVP Nikola Jokic recorded his eighth triple-double of the season with 36 points, 18 rebounds, and 13 assists, but his final shot at the buzzer fell short, sealing the Nuggets’ fate. Jamal Murray exploded for 34 points, including 18 in the fourth quarter, and Aaron Gordon added 24.

Despite playing a double-overtime thriller in Utah the previous night and being without Coby White (strained calf), the Bulls showed no signs of fatigue. Huerter’s go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:25 remaining and Vucevic’s subsequent long-range basket proved to be the difference-makers.

The loss halted Denver’s seven-game winning streak. The Nuggets were also without shooting guard Christian Braun (left ankle).

The Bulls continue their four-game road trip Wednesday in Portland. The Nuggets will begin a two-game road trip on Wednesday in New Orleans.
