In terms of scoring, Aaron Gordon was the top performer on his team with 29 points (along with 15 rebounds). Despite his outstanding performance, the American focused on Nikola Jokic’s contribution, who played his best when the Denver Nuggets needed it the most.
“Nikola Jokic is a basketball genius… Actually, he’s a genius who decided to play basketball. He makes the game very easy, he opens it up, and you start to see three or four steps ahead. Everything looks much easier.”
