The win, which came on the second night of a back-to-back against the same Spurs team, helped Denver reclaim the no. 4 spot in the Western Conference with a 20-14 record.
Jokic initially missed a potential game-winner in regulation but took charge in the extra period, giving the Nuggets a decisive cushion.
Michael Porter Jr. provided strong support with 28 points, as Denver bounced back after losing at home to the Spurs the previous night.
San Antonio, now 18-17, was led by Harrison Barnes with 22 points, while Victor Wembanyama contributed a stellar 20-point, 23-rebound performance.
