adding to the equation Short & Sweet: woof woof Early Bird gets the Worm
Denver Nuggets @ Phoenix Suns -3.0 * 10:00 pm * Conf. SemiFinals Gm #6
"The energy's a little different when we're at home," Nuggets guard Jamal Murray said. "The pace is a little faster for us. We've gotta carry that over to Phoenix."
The two-time MVP said he has no preference when it comes to going on a scoring binge or playing an all-around game that ends with a triple-double.
"I mean, to be honest, I just like to win the game," Jokic said. "So whatever it takes. I open the game (Tuesday), I think really badly, maybe I was forcing it.
"And then I just slow it down, relax and let the game come to me. It'll come to me and that happens."
"I think sometimes we maybe take Nikola for granted because what he is doing is just incredible," Malone said. "He makes everyone around him better. Never gets rattled. 'Cool Hand Luke.' And we're just so thankful that he's a Denver Nugget."
"It's just about going out there and playing every possession like it's your last," Durant said. "We've seen this team for five games now. They've seen us. It's all about who wants it more."
"I think he's OK," Williams said. "He had a sore foot. But we wouldn't put him back out there if we didn't think he was OK."
"I love it," Booker said. "Every game has its own character. Every game is its own movie, its own different preparation and everything to go with it. We're going over film, see how we can be better for Game 6."
