Getting bodied and pushed on numerous occasions, Nikola Jokic went to the free-throw line twice despite taking 25 shots in Game 1. Asked about it afterward, the Nuggets star was diplomatic: “I think I’m going to get fined if I answer.” via msinger
He had reason to lose it, getting bodied and pushed on numerous occasions, after getting to the free-throw line twice despite taking 25 shots in the Nuggets’ 123-107 loss, yet he didn’t.
“My friend, I think I’m going to get fined if I answer,” Jokic said. “So I can’t. I mean, is it a little bit more chippy? Yes, but then, I cannot answer.” Kevon Looney, the Warriors’ starting center, was allowed to be physical with him, as was Draymond Green, who eventually shifted over to help. On occasion, Jokic pled his case but to little avail.
