SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Jamal Murray hit a 16-foot jumper with 8.6 seconds left and the Denver Nuggets held off the Sacramento Kings 130-129 on Monday night.

Nikola Jokic recorded his 10th NBA triple-double with 20 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists as the Nuggets snapped their three-game winning streak in Sacramento. Murray scored 28 points while Russell Westbrook had 18 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists.

The teams traded leads seven times in the final 75 seconds, with Murray scoring the winning goal 10 seconds after DeMar DeRozan gave the Kings (13-14) the lead with a baseline dunk.

Domantas Sabonis scored 28 points, 14 rebounds and six assists for the Kings. De’Aaron Fox added 29 points and seven assists. Malik Monk scored 25.

Takeaways

Nuggets: Westbrook was an important player for Denver. The nine-time All-Star has spent most of the season coming off the bench, but has made several good starts at various positions – like he did on Monday when he filled in for the injured Christian Braun.

Kings: Mike Brown’s team showed good energy and came back to finish things off after being flat on both ends of the floor early in the game. Denver was the more physical team for most of the night, although the Kings played significantly better in the second half before falling short.

Key statistics

Denver scored 76 points on the season, 33 more than Sacramento allowed this season.

Next

Nuggets: Take on the Trail Blazers on Thursday in Portland.

Kings: Host the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday.
