Nikola Jokic credits ‘good energy’ as FOUR Nuggets starters score 20+ PTS vs. Pacers | NBA on ESPN

All right nicoa you guys held a team that was averaging 126 points per game to 109 um talk about the defensive effort here tonight uh it was good I think the four qu was really good I think in one moment they had uh 13 points like I’m going to

Say four minutes to go or something I think we I think we did a really good job with that of course them Miss probably their best player but that doesn’t change our mindset and um I we did a good job I think today what do you think the key to that good defense

Effort was was it just getting back in transition what what was the key there I mean I don’t know like they had a lot of offensive rebounds they had they got a lot of points in transition off of our turnovers but uh I think our half court

Defense was good so whenever we get back I think we we we had a we had a couple stops four of the starters I believe had 20 or more points in this game um just talk about you guys’ mindset and how you guys went out and executed today as a

Starting unit well it was good you know we we made we made a couple shots uh we started the game really well everybody everybody had a had a really good um energy we running we we did run in transition too so pretty much a little bit of everything last couple of games I

Know maybe not any one of these games individually as a statement win but when you start to collect wins against these teams that are hot coming in um what is it saying about this basketball team in particular I mean I don’t know uh like

For me I just want to win the next game so whoever we’re playing next I want I want to win and that’s our mindset and that’s how it’s supposed to be you know if you think like how they are playing you I mean what does it give to us you

Know we just need to worry about us and uh and uh execute the game plan and try to win the game thank [Applause] you NBA on
