“Hit after bouncing off an opponent and resisting one leg, I’d say he was the best basketball player in the world tonight. It was a team effort, but Jokeris definitely brought us down in every game, ”Murray said of Jokičiai.
“I don’t know how we did it, this team is amazing,” Jokičius said happily. “She is very talented and well trained.”
