Nikola Jokic: We didn’t play with this kind of Lakers

Sporting a new haircut, Nikola Jokic is gearing up to enter the Western Conference finals with a rejuvenated mentality.

“We didn’t play with this kind of Lakers [team],” Jokic said. “So this is going to be basically a new team for us. Probably everything is new, everything is different.

“They’re playing amazing in these playoffs. Since [the trade] deadline, they’re playing really well.”
