Jamal had a mid-range shot, he passed the ball to me, I shot and scored,&#8221; said Joki\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the reporters&#8217; insistence, he also commented on his performance in this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">JOKI\u0106 AFTER DROPPING 23\/17\/17: &quot;It just happens.&quot;<br><br>It marks his 17th career game with 15+ points, 15+ rebounds and 15+ assists, extending his own NBA record \ud83e\udd2f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VEPT3kf0OX\">pic.twitter.com\/VEPT3kf0OX<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NBA (@NBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA\/status\/2036690121202749581?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 25, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The flow of the game suited me, we were hitting our shots, teammates were open, I wasn&#8217;t turning the ball over much. I think everything went my way,&#8221; Nikola was modest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Denver will play nine more games until the end of the regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We need to stay healthy, try to play our basketball, do the small things on the court better. Everyone needs to do their part,&#8221; says Joki\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Denver had a problem with their flight before this duel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This happens to us, like every flight has a problem. We knew we would land late, but we&#8217;ve been in that situation before, it didn&#8217;t surprise us &#8211; it was the same seven days ago. That can&#8217;t be an excuse, you have to go out on the court and play the game,&#8221; Joki\u0107 emphasizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a reporter&#8217;s question about what he prefers &#8211; points or assists, Nikola recalled the wise words of his late friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;My friend, who passed away, used to tell me that an assist makes two people happy, and points only one,&#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\/jokic-scored-for-the-win-denver-drama-in-phoenix-the-worlds-best-player-took-matters-into-his-own-hands-in-the-final-attack-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">JOKI\u0106 SCORED FOR THE WIN!
