Nikola Jokic (center of the Denver Nuggets, after the victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves 117-90): “We ran better, we rebounded better, we were aggressive, we found free players, we shot, we created opportunities. We played a much better game today than a few nights ago. We started the match really well. I think the first quarter was of good quality. Everything was snappy, everything was faster, good screens, good sequences. You know, you make shots, you miss them. But I think it was quality basketball in the first quarter. We took the lead, we took the advantage, and we were, I think, better than them tonight.
(on his MVP title) I think I said it when I received the MVP award, I think it’s something you appreciate after the career, probably more after the season. You know, it’s really difficult right now because all the attention is on the game. You try to find flaws in their defense, in their attack. But it was good, my family was there, we celebrated. It’s not like we didn’t enjoy it, we celebrated a little.
