The Supersonics, preoccupied with isolation plays, suffered from low offensive efficiency, which made it easy for the Clippers' twin towers to dominate the rebound battle.
This was Jokić's favorite type of game.
The opponents seemed unwise, repeatedly making irrational offensive decisions, and one rebound after another fell into the Clippers' hands.
The abundance of rebounds also allowed Jokić to frequently perform classic moves, grabbing defensive rebounds and then dishing out assists in quick transitions.
ESPN commentators, former NBA star Chris Webber, exclaimed excitedly, "It's time to apologize to Arne Trem! This Serbian truly knows how to play! Look at his passes! Goodness, he reminds me of Vlade Divac!"
The climax of the game came in the last attack of the third quarter.
By then, the Clippers had already taken a 29-point lead.
Fei gave Roy a solid block, and after Jokić secured the loose ball, he pushed forward alone.
