Nikola Jokic may need to make a trip to the secret laboratory of Felonious Gru, the main protagonist of the Despicable Me movie franchise, before Game 2 of the Western conference semifinals.
Jokic's Nuggets lost Game 1 at the hands of the Timberwolves by a score of 106-99, during which the two-time MVP was coaxed into an inefficient shooting performance, thanks to Minnesota's rotation of three centers in Rudy Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns and Naz Reid.
During his postgame press conference, Jokic was asked how he can be more effective against the Timberwolves' rotation of fresh big men. The Nuggets center paused for several seconds, then responded with a perfect joke, telling the reporter that he will have to clone himself.
