"119 to 108, the Cavaliers finally defeated the Spurs at home, welcoming a victorious start to December."
"This victory was crucial for the Cavaliers, as their performance in November had been scrutinized by the public."
"But more important than the victory, they gained a qualified starting center."
"32 minutes, 13 shots, 8 baskets, one three-point shot made from one attempt, six free throws made from six attempts, 23 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals, 3 blocks."
"These were the stats Jokic put up during the game."
"Even Hansen, who had encouraged Jokic before the game, had not anticipated such a performance."
"After the game ended, Jokic enjoyed a mineral water pouring celebration in the locker room from his teammates."
"Unlike his serious demeanor during the game, Jokic was shouting and cheering with them after being doused."
"Perhaps for him, the experiences he now had were more exciting than any stats he could achieve during the game."
