Nikola Jokic scored a career-high 56 points and had little to celebrate afterward.

Jordan Poole scored 39 points, and the Washington Wizards overcame a career-high 56 by Nikola Jokic to beat the Denver Nuggets 122-113 and snap their 16-game losing streak.

Good thing, because the Pittsburgh and Florida State coaches saw plenty of it in their season opener on Wednesday night. RaiQuan Gray, Malik Osborne and Balsa Koprivica all fouled out for Florida State. Florida State is rebooting after winning a program-record 29 games a year ago. Still, Florida State went up 40-31 on a layup by Osborne with 13:37 to play. Florida State shot 40 percent (21 of 53) from the floor but just 6 of 20 3-pointers.
