Denver was defeated by Cleveland with the result 119:116, and after the match, Nikola Jokic announced that he had another game worth the MVP!
The Serbian basketball player was again the best individual of the Nuggets in the defeat by the Cavaliers.
The current most useful player in the NBA league scored 32 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists.
This was not enough to record a new triumph and Denver was defeated after a series of seven tied wins.
Jokic was self-critical and extremely dissatisfied with his lost ball at the end of the match.
– It seems that we did a little of everything that was wrong. We weren’t good when it came to jumping on defense, especially me. And my last pass was bad. Really bad, I made a mistake – said Jokic, so he continued.
– We are really good at losing the ball in simple passes – he added.
Bones Highland explained the whole duel in one sentence.
– We gave them the victory in the match as if we gave them candy – said Jokic.
Mike Malone, however, was positive after the defeat.
– We ruined everything in the end, that’s the last thing. Are we demoralized? We have 14-4 in the last 18 games. We control what we can control. We do not allow the teams in front or behind us to determine how we will approach each game – said the Nuggets coach.
