Nikola Jokic was very open at the press conference after the game against the Los Angeles Lakers, which they won by 105:112.
It was another great NBA game for the Denver Nuggets. They secured their third win in the series, needing just one more to advance to the second round. Once again, Nikola Jokic stood out with 24 points, 15 rebounds, and 9 assists. As he emphasized, winning feels great, but he was part of the team even when they were closer to the bottom.
“I think I once said that winning is our way of life. It feels really good when you win… Everyone is happy.
Everyone wants to play. Everyone wants to be in the system… I was here when we were losing. I don’t want to go back. Last year, we played four games, and those were probably the toughest in our lives.”
“He has embraced his role and knows what he’s doing. Without him, this wouldn’t be the same team,” Nikola Jokic sad said about Aaron Gordon.
