Nikola Jokic scored 35 points, posted a triple-double and didn't miss a shot in leading the Denver Nuggets past the Phoenix Suns 119-91 Saturday night.
Jokic, who had 10 assists and 10 rebounds, joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only players in NBA history to post a triple-double with 30 or more points without missing a shot.
Chamberlain did it twice, in 1966 and '67.
Jokic made all 11 of his shots from the floor and missed just one of 11 free throws on a night the crowd serenaded him with chants of "MVP! MVP!"
Jamal Murray added 26 points for the Nuggets, who are off to their first 2-0 start since 2011-12 and will go for their first 3-0 start since 2009-10 when they host the two-time defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors on Sunday night.
Toronto 117, Washington 113: Taking over with Kawhi Leonard getting a night off, Kyle Lowry delivered 28 points and 12 assists to help the Raptors improve to 3-0 with a victory over the Wizards in Washington. The Raptors rested Leonard on the second half of a back-to-back and third game in four days to open the season. Washington finished the game without ejected coach Scott Brooks. Bradley Beal scored 32 points, going 6-for-11 on threes, and John Wall added 25 points and six assists for the Wizards, who are 0-2, with both games at home.
Houston 124, L.A. Lakers 115: James Harden scored 36 points and the Rockets spoiled LeBron James' home debut with the Lakers in a game that got ugly in the fourth quarter, as Los Angeles' Brandon Ingram and Rajon Rondo and Houston's Chris Paul were ejected after throwing punches.
Charlotte 113, Miami 112: Kemba Walker scored 39 points, including the game-winning free throw with a half-second left, and the Hornets spoiled Dwyane Wade's final home opener by topping the Heat. The Hornets led by 26 points midway through the third quarter, then wasted it all before Walker saved them.
