They are a good team, a good defensive team. They can attack you through multiple options, multiple actions and I think we did a good job today. We usually win with offense, but today we won with defense. I liked the aggressiveness in defense the most. In the third quarter we made four fouls in two minutes and somehow set the tone for the rest of the game, for the rest of the half.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nikola Jokic PRAISES Nuggets Defense, Adelman&#039;s Coaching, &amp; More After Nuggets BIG WIN vs Celtics\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MWMaPIwhaMA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He stressed that the energy of the entire team was at a high level, especially in a situation when Jamal Murray, due to illness, could not play more than seven minutes, so the organization of the game was taken over by Bruce Brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;They were good, Cameron Johnson, both of them had really good energy. I think Spencer also played very well. The team had a good momentum. When we play like that, when we play tough and with energy, we always give ourselves a chance to win.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joki\u0107 also referred to the upcoming duel, in which Denver will play against Oklahoma, and touched on Nikola Topi\u0107\u2019s return to the court after a difficult battle and victory over testicular cancer. The Serbian center did not hide his emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Yes, of course I\u2019m glad we\u2019ll see each other. I played with him. We didn\u2019t play together for long. He was with the national team and he\u2019s really a good guy. Very talented. He is the future of Serbian basketball. He fought something that is the most important and he won,&#8221; said Nikola Joki\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/interview-melissa-luburich-serbian-woman-from-chicago-three-times-congresswoman-how-i-fought-for-the-serbian-cause-in-washington-with-my-homemade-greens-pie-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">INTERVIEW, MELISSA LUBURICH, SERBIAN WOMAN FROM CHICAGO \u2013 THREE TIMES CONGRESSWOMAN: \u201eHow I fought for the Serbian cause in Washington with my homemade greens pie!\u201c (VIDEO)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/anger-grows-at-the-blockades-police-summoned-more-than-10-farmers-for-informative-talks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">ANGER GROWS AT THE BLOCKADES: Police summoned more than 10 farmers for informative talks!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/horror-in-north-macedonia-serial-killer-arrested-suspected-of-murdering-as-many-as-five-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">HORROR IN NORTH MACEDONIA: Serial killer arrested, suspected of murdering as many as five women!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/fantastic-news-for-serbia-european-commission-proposed-the-abolition-of-roaming-between-the-western-balkans-and-the-eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">FANTASTIC NEWS FOR SERBIA: European Commission proposed the abolition of roaming between the Western Balkans and the EU!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/he-is-my-brother-from-today-ivica-saw-an-overturned-car-and-immediately-rushed-to-help-saved-a-person-with-a-disability-from-certain-death-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201eHE IS MY BROTHER FROM TODAY\u201c: Ivica saw an overturned car and immediately rushed to help, saved a person with a disability from certain death!
