金塊總教練Malone講到這球，他則是說所有金塊板凳席上的人都認為他一出手就覺得會進，希望能說這就是他所寫的劇本。他稱讚Jokic：「Nikola（Jokic）為此刻而生，作為一名擁有像他這樣天賦的球員，能夠做出像這樣的動作，這真是太棒了，也很令人高興。」
Malone said everyone on the Nuggets bench thought Jokic’s shot was good as soon as he released it. Said he wishes he could say that’s the exact play he drew up.

“Nikola lives for those moments. And it’s great and joyful a player of his talent … make the plays that he makes.”
