Jokic Downs Phoenix with a Crazy Triple-Double, Then Reveals Before Dallas Trip: "Every Flight Has a Plane Problem, But No Excuses!" /VIDEO/

Yeah, we ran a pick-and-roll, and I think there was some miscommunication on the switch. Jamal was in the mid-range area, he passed me the ball, I took that 'push shot' of mine, whatever it is – and it went in. We knew the ball would somehow end up with Booker. I think we did a good job. There were pump fakes, a hand in his face, whatever, but he had to work hard for that shot, and that's what we wanted. You know, he's great at creating his own shot, hitting tough, tough shots, but it was a good defensive possession.

I think the flow of the game really suited me, the pace and speed. We were hitting shots, guys were getting open, I didn't have many turnovers, so everything just kind of clicked.

It's definitely something we can use now and see how it works in the playoffs. They certainly need a bit more time to get used to it, to know exactly what to do, but it can be an option for us, for sure.

To be honest, he's played very well for us too. I think whenever he's played – and he hasn't played much – he's seized the opportunity. His shooting ability and the fact that he's a tough player... he's a winner, I think. It's nice to see him impacting the game.

That was his game before, but it definitely helps when you see someone creating shots like that every day. Still, I think he already had that in him.

I'm just glad I can still play at this level, impact the game, and compete. That's the good thing.

I think players make decisions on the court itself. You can't fully prepare. Even if you prepare, watching film of what they'll do, it won't be the same. Maybe someone will make a mistake, someone will help, maybe they'll do something completely different, because basketball is a live game. It's not always exactly as you saw it on film. You have to read and react, and you don't have much time – these are split-second decisions.

As I said – to stay healthy, to play our brand of basketball, and to do the small things a bit more thoroughly and better. So, health and everyone doing their part a little better.

This happens to us all the time. It seems like every flight, we have some issue with the plane. We'll land late, but we were in this situation seven days ago too. That can't be an excuse. You just have to go out there and play.
