Russell Westbrook achieved a rare perfect triple-double by scoring 16 points on 100% shooting with zero turnovers. Playing 33 minutes, the former OKC Thunder star successfully made all seven of his shot attempts.

This accomplishment makes Westbrook only the third NBA player ever to record a triple-double with a 100% field goal percentage. The Nuggets' victory over the Jazz ensures the Colorado franchise ends the year on a high note, finishing sixth in the Western Conference.

Denver Nuggets get an emphatic win over the Utah Jazz

The Denver Nuggets had a slow start to the season, appearing to be a shadow of their former selves. After finishing within the second seeding in the last two seasons, they currently find themselves struggling with an 18-13 record.

Despite their stuttering start, the Nuggets have slowly started to turn their season around with eight wins in November and matching that figure in December, capped off by a victory against the Utah Jazz last night.

In their 132-121 win over the Jazz, the Nuggets were led by Westbrook and Nikola Jokic, both of whom recorded triple-doubles. Westbrook achieved his perfect 16-point triple-double, while Jokic logged his 12th triple-double of the season. This emphatic 11-point victory also helped the Nuggets end the year within the playoff places.

The win also marked their second consecutive victory after defeating the Detroit Pistons in their previous game, ending a two-game losing streak.
