O Denver precisou da prorrogação para passar pelo New Orleans, 141-135, e Nikola Jokic entregou mais um triplo-duplo. Essa parte não era o que ele queria discutir.
A torcida da casa se voltou contra o Nuggets no primeiro tempo, que terminou com os visitantes à frente por 73-57. Jokic não escondeu o incômodo.
“Fomos vaiados no nosso primeiro jogo em casa, e eu acho que esses torcedores que nos vaiaram não precisam mais vir”, disse Jokic. “Se vocês nos acompanham, sabem que nunca desistimos e já voltamos de situações muito piores. Então, se me perguntarem, eles não são mais bem-vindos.”
A linha dele: 35 pontos, oito deles na prorrogação, além de 15 rebotes e 10 assistências. É o 199º triplo-duplo da temporada regular dele. Só Russell Westbrook está acima dele na lista histórica da liga, e ele parou em 209.
Sobre o jogo em si, ele usou uma frase própria: “Foi só, sabe, nada dá certo para você, eles estão acertando os arremessos e você não. Foi só energia ruim, e precisa de alguns minutos para passar para você conseguir sair disso.”
