VIDEO: Nikola Jokic Shows Clear Frustration With Jamal Murray After Lazy Pass Against Pelicans
By Parker White
The New Orleans Pelicans had their way with the Denver Nuggets on Thursday for their first victory of the season, and you can sum things up with this lazy pass from Nuggets guard Jamal Murray to All-Star Nikola Jokic. This...this simply isn't what winning teams do.
Not sure what's up with Nikola Jokic right now, but he sure didn't seem happy with this Jamal Murray pass as things fully slipped away from Denver last night. pic.twitter.com/lLl2HJmcMB

Jahlil Okafor made a nice play on the ball that led to an easy two points on a one-man fast break, but you clearly see Jokic show his frustration with Murray and the terrible pass when he immediately put his hands up. This is the type of winning play that hustling teams generally make against squads that are resting on their laurels.
You think he was flabbergasted with Murray, or the fact they were now down 21 on national television to a winless Pelicans team?
You be the judge, but you don't see players show up their teammates on the court like that very often, unless there's more to it.
