Nikola Jokic after altercation with Lu Dort: 'Unnecessary move and a necessary reaction'

[ASFN Admin]

The fracas began when Dort appeared to trip Jokic as he ran up the court with 8:03 remaining in the fourth quarter. Dort backed into Jokic and stuck out his right foot, knocking down the big man, who quickly pounced to his feet to angrily confront Dort. "It's an unnecessary move and a necessary reaction," Jokic said after the Nuggets' 127-121 overtime loss to the defending champions. "There is no such thing -- I think there's not supposed to be those things on a basketball floor. So, it was just an unnecessary move and a necessary reaction by me."
