On Monday night, Los Angeles Lakers beat the San Antonio Spurs with a 125-109 score.
After the game, Luka Donc was asked about his next confrontation with Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets (Wednesday night at home).
Doncic (H/T Middle Lojo): “The team that Jokic has in him is always dangerous. With him on the court, there is always danger. It is difficult to play against him. He knows all the tricks. He is an incredible basketball player … I think it will be a great game.”
