Jokic, who led all scorers with 21 first-half points, scored the first seven points of the third quarter to give Denver a 67-59 lead.

Valanciunas stopped the run with a three-point play, but moments later he went to the bench after committing his fifth foul while trying to slow down Jokic.

Williamson had two baskets and a layup by Dyson Daniels gave New Orleans a one-point lead.

Alvarado made a 3-pointer and four free throws as New Orleans increased the lead to 96-83 and stayed in control the rest of the way.
