Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic shared his thoughts following a thrilling defeat against Dallas Mavericks in a closely contested game.
The match was decided by Kyrie Irving’s stunning buzzer-beater shot in the final second, sealing the victory for the Mavericks.
“If somebody can make that shot, it’s definitely him. I’m kind of surprised, kind of not. He’s the guy who can make that shot for sure. It was the same action that they run, and then the continuation is probably Kyrie coming with a pin-down from the corner. Me and (Aaron Gordon), we switched it, and I mean, Kyrie made a really tough shot. I think I was there. I was contesting the shot.”
The renowned “Joker” concluded the game with an impressive stat line of 16 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists.
