“Every game is important. We had to come back after the defeat by Charlotte. The Clippers could not count on a few players, but it is similar to us. Whoever can play should be ready. We have to find a way to win. The next match is against Golden State and Steph Curry. A guy plays at a top level, if you don’t like how he plays, how he behaves on the field, how he hits, then you don’t like basketball. The game is extraordinary “, concluded Jokic.
