Just play! Jokic: We are very good at squandering the lead, but we are also good at taking it back

In the NBA regular season, the Nuggets defeated the Clippers 130-116 and won 6 consecutive victories. After the game, Jokic accepted an interview with the media.

Reporter: "​ You were ahead by 10 points today, but then you were overtaken by 10 points, and then you went back to seal the victory. What was the most critical factor in this?"

Jokic: "We seem to be really good at squandering the lead, but at the same time, I think we are also very good at taking advantage. Take it back!

"When we were 10 points behind, we didn't try to play hero ball. We just stuck to our own style, executed tactics, played pick-and-rolls, or chose any low-post tactics. We just continued to play like this, which brought us good results.

"I think similarly, when we lead by 10 or 15 points, we don't need anyone to force a shot, because in one or two rounds the opponent may have a 6-0 or 10-0 spurt, which will be very detrimental to us."
