Denver Nuggets head coach David Adelman hailed Nikola Jokic for another "unbelievable" performance as the center closed in on NBA history.

The Nuggets ended a three-game skid by earning a 136-120 win over the slumping Chicago Bulls, with Jokic leading the charge.

He finished the game with 22 points, 17 assists and 14 rebounds to pass Oscar Robertson for second place in the all-time triple-doubles leaderboard.

Jokic claimed his 182nd regular-season triple-double, and Adelman was amazed by the numbers he put up to help them to the win.

"When your center gets 17 assists in a game – that just doesn't happen," Adelman said.

"Unless it's him.

"It's absolutely unbelievable what he's done."

The triple-double was Jokic's 19th of the season, and his second in as many games, as he overtook Robertson's record.

He now trails only Russell Westbrook, who has 207, on the career list, while Jokic is one of only three players to average triple-doubles in a season, doing so twice.

"He is a legendary player," Jokic said of Robertson, who was the first player to average a triple-double in a full season in 1961-62.

"Any player who steps into this league knows he's a global legend."
