LOS ANGELES: Denver coach Michael Malone thinks the world should wake up to the greatness of two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic and his Nuggets teammates - who incidentally have a 2-0 lead over the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference finals."Whatever we can use for motivation," Malone said after the Nuggets erased an 11-point deficit to beat the Lakers 108-103 in game two at Ball Arena in Denver on Thursday.
Malone noted that Jokic's 13 career playoff triple-doubles put him third all-time behind Magic Johnson and LeBron James ."But the narrative wasn't about the Nuggets, the narrative wasn't about Nikola. The narrative was about the Lakers and their adjustments. While Jokic came through with yet another triple-double, it was Jamal Murray's 23-point fourth-quarter explosion that carried the Nuggets past the Lakers on Thursday.
Despite his bravado, Malone said the Nuggets were keenly aware as the series shifts to Los Angeles on Saturday that the hardest work remains.
