Nikola Jokić had a night to forget as the Denver Nuggets’ nine-game winning streak came to an end after a disappointing 123-100 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. He was caught off guard by the plan JJ Redick and the Lakers executed but believes Denver might have a bigger issue to solve.

One of Nikola Jokić’s teammates on the Denver Nuggets shared his thoughts on the new-look Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA.

Jokic set a career-high in assists with 19 as the Nuggets won for the 10th time in their last 11 games with a 125-116 victory over the Pacers. Asked if he still feels the same way about the joy of passing in relation to scoring, he said after the win, “Of course. It’s an easy question.” He was not aware of the new career record, however.
