Nikola Jokic on the Denver Nuggets’ Game 1 win over Miami

Denver Nuggets superstar center Nikola Jokic

Following the Denver Nuggets’ Game 1 finals win over Miami, Nikola Jokic was asked how the Nuggets were able to stay so sharp. This comes as Denver’s last playoff game came on May 22. Jokic said that they were respectful towards the "fight and grit" of Miami and prepared the game accordingly.

“You know, we respect that team a lot,” Jokic said.

“They fight and have grit, and we just wanted to get the first punch. Their first three rounds, they won their first game when they traveled and played on the road, and we didn’t want that to happen (to us). I think we did a good job. To hold that team to 93 points, I think it’s a really good job.”

Jokic was also asked how he was able to dominate the first three quarters of the game while only taking five shots. Jokic said that he was just doing whatever he could to help his team win:

“Right now, the most important thing is to win the game,” Jokic said.

“I’m trying to win the game in any possible way. I don’t need to shoot and I know I don’t need to score to affect the game, and I think I did a good job today.”

Game 2 of the NBA Finals will take place on Sunday in Denver.
