Denver Nuggets vs New Orleans Pelicans Final Score: Nuggets Win 141-135 in OT as Jokic Drops Triple-Double

The Denver Nuggets rallied from a 23-point deficit to beat the New Orleans Pelicans 141-135 in overtime on Saturday, behind a huge night from Nikola Jokic. The three-time MVP finished with 35 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists for a triple-double, while Jamal Murray poured in 42 points, including late three-pointers in overtime, as Denver completed a dramatic comeback.
Denver trailed by 23 before clawing its way back, then outscored New Orleans 15-9 in the extra period to avoid an 0-3 start to the season. The win moves the Nuggets to 1-1, while the Pelicans fall to 0-3 despite leading for long stretches of the game.
The result is an early statement for a Denver side built around Jokic's all-round brilliance and Murray's late-game scoring. For New Orleans, it is a painful one to let slip — a big lead gone, and a third straight defeat to start the 2026-27 NBA season.
