Nikola Jokic On His Offense: 'I'm Patient Because I Cannot Really Run Fast' 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Sep 6, 2020 3:55 pm

Nikola Jokic discussed his style on offense following the Denver Nuggets' 110-101 win over the Los Angeles Clippers in game 2 to tie the series.


Jokic finished the game with 26 points and 18 rebounds.


“I’m patient because I cannot really run fast. That’s my only option," said Jokic.


Jokic scored 24 points in the first half, along with four 3-pointers.


Jokic added that playing at his own pace opens up options for his teammates. 


“When I’m playing offense and I have the ball I just look for defensive mistakes. Just me being a little bit slower kind of gives my teammates a chance to back-cut, lob … Just playing in my comfort zone.”
