Nets’ woes continue in rough loss to Nikola Jokic, Nuggets to start road trip

DENVER — Jordi Fernandez spent six years with the Nuggets, helping build a winner — honing the roadmap he hopes to replicate in Brooklyn.

But the first-year head coach’s rebuilding and threadbare team got a reminder of just how far they have to go.

The Nets were dominated by Nikola Jokic and Russell Westbrook, torched by twin triple-doubles in a 124-105 loss on Friday before a sellout crowd of 19,959 at Ball Arena.

Jokic — who had missed the prior two games with an illness — returned with 35 points, 15 ᴀssists and 12 rebounds.
