Nuggets’ Jamal Murray on Nikola Jokic With Triple-Double On Every Team But Wizards, & Unselfishness

An aggressive efficient night from you out there what were you seeing what were you feeling I didn’t think I was not efficient but but it was a good game um they played hard um we’re able to weather the storm and get the dub think that there’s a better Twan game out

There down the stretch when the game is on the line then you and nicolea going into that I don’t but that’s hope for you to answer so what are you thinking when they Blitz you there and and it ends up being him open at the top of the

Key I mean that was that was ball game that’s that’s what that’s what happened any doubt that he was going to make that don’t no as soon as you pass it to him you’re like no that’s cash obviously the way you guys were able to defend in that third quarter and then

Also score I mean that seemed like the turning point of this game in a lot of ways where you found your Rhythm and set the tone what went into the changes you made at halftime it was just on defense you know offense is going to come and go but uh

Our defense can always remain remain the same so I think we did a good job of just communicating better uh being cleaner with our coverages and all that and um being able to get out and run as well so um offensively it’s just us playing the game and uh recognizing

What’s going on obviously with they’re without halberton like that can have an impact but their their style is just so prolific in terms of the Fast Break does the approach for you guys in terms of trying to SL don’t have to be to push it yourself and sort of embrace them in

That no it’s just it’s just got to be defensive rebounding you know you got to be able to stop them not give them Second Chance points and not get into scoring contests you know it wasn’t about like I said it wasn’t the offense part we got to be able to get stops

Consistently and um I think we did a good job just like I said WEA in storm throughout the game and uh finding own breaks picking your own spots I that what do you think’s been the biggest biggest factor in the three- game win Streak our intent our Focus um just being disciplined when we need to jam what you say about you and ni having 31 points exact same number and you guys sometimes talk and plan what happens in these critical moments who’s going to try to score who’s going to

Give the ball to or something in this three last seconds of a game we’re just reading the game we’re just reading the game um we’re all trying to make the right play and uh we have a great connection just just playing off each other so um that was the read you know

They doubled me at the half court line and I hit Joker and he was able to make the shots so um like I said we’re just just making reads throughout the game and um doesn’t really matter who’s who’s scoring who’s not it’s just trying to make the right play how do you feel

About you two growing together throughout the years now seems like the both the Friendship oned off the court and like the great play continues two years yeah only getting better um I’m learning some Serbian um you know he’s learning English so uh we’re doing we’re

Doing a good job I think um we just keep evolving our our reads and our counters um um but yeah it’s just it’s just fun to have a a partner like that to be able to play with where the he’s he’s so um unselfish you know that’s best way for

Me to put it he’s just playing the game and whatever happens happens so it’s a lot you know a lot of teams in the NBA don’t have that so I’m blessed to be here um play with him like a guy like that for my whole career he has a triple

Double now against every team in the NBA but the Washington wz he hadn’t gotten one against Indiana this was his first time what does that say about how dominant he’s been it’s just an everyday thing for him you know um play through him so much and he just makes the right read constantly

Every game so um you know I think the consistency it’s less about you know the numbers for me you know the consistency of how much attention he draws and the plays that he makes I think that’s what stands out most to me um and I think that’s what people don’t give him enough

Credit for where even if he has a bad game or two it’s like so what you know he does such an amazing job each and each and every night um just controlling the pace of the game or or making big plays so um yeah man he’s he’s the

Greatest in the game you think Malone’s a little more willing to to challenge a play when when Nicole is the one who’s really adamant about it no as long as it’s a foul or not a foul or whatever the challenge call is how did the rock paper scissors come to be well we’re

Both shooting 90 what something like that so so you know I think I took I took one away from him like I I you know and he’s a little older than me you know what I’m saying so I understand where he’s coming from um

But yeah it just came up because I I had to go into it I didn’t realize that he just hit two threes so at that point just it doesn’t really matter we’re both we we both got to going um sometimes he’ll let me shoot if I don’t if I

Haven’t scored yet or I haven’t had a rhythm and obviously vice versa but you know I think that was a good way to Sol you will you reevaluate your rock paper C strategy now that you oh yeah oh yeah it’s locked in I got I got the um I got

The Tendencies I got the Tendencies on on rock paper scissors so scouting reports there I’m GNA win the next one just case if you get the right to those Tech free throws now until he misses is no no no it’s going to happen again oh yeah yeah we’re going to keep going [Applause] Yeah
