(VIDEO)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Nikola Joki\u0107 and Jamal Murray put on a spectacle against Dallas, and after one of the most impressive performances of the season, the Serbian center also shared a personal story that still affects him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Denver won an efficient game 142:135, and the Joki\u0107\u2013Murray duo dominated the court. The Serbian star recorded an incredible triple-double with 23 points, 21 rebounds, and 19 assists, while Murray poured in 53 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the game, Joki\u0107 spoke about his relationship with his teammate and their cooperation on the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think the most important thing for me is to create space for him when he\u2019s playing a game like this. I know he will shoot and make shots, and when they start doubling him, then it\u2019s on me to involve others or to score,&#8221; Joki\u0107 explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also touched on the often-mentioned &#8220;beautiful basketball,&#8221; but made it clear what his priority is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s beautiful. It\u2019s nice when we move the ball and get open shots, but honestly \u2013 I\u2019d rather win than play beautifully.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This game had additional weight as Joki\u0107 and Murray reached 400 wins together, becoming the most successful tandem in that period since playing together in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What I enjoy most is our progress. We practically started as \u2018nobodies,\u2019 reached a title, and we\u2019re still improving. That shared journey is something special.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joki\u0107 also spoke about the period after his injury, emphasizing that he is still searching for the right rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I was inconsistent because it was my first return after the injury. There will be both good and bad games, but that\u2019s a new experience for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nikola Joki\u0107 explains why he cried when the Nuggets traded Gary Harris<br><br>Full presser: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/d6xSHdkRDO\">pic.twitter.com\/d6xSHdkRDO<\/a><\/p>&mdash; DNVR Nuggets (@DNVR_Nuggets) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DNVR_Nuggets\/status\/2037045712001917055?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 26, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Joki\u0107: I cried because of Gary Harris\u2019 trade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most emotional part of the conference came when he talked about the moment of parting ways with Gary Harris, during the trade in which Denver acquired Aaron Gordon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I remember saying goodbye to Gary Harris and I cried, because I was really sad.
