In the NBA Cup group stage, the Rockets lost to the Nuggets 109-112. Amen Thompson was interviewed by the media after the game.
When asked whether Jokic seemed to be closely guarding him when cutting or dropping on the baseline. Whether this was related to the Nuggets' defensive strategy or the size of the players, Amen showed excellent game reading ability: "You can see that he is very cunning on the defensive end. He will pretend to come forward to help defend, but the real focus is on the passing route. So, This requires us to be familiar with the characteristics of the opponent's players. Fortunately, we figured this out through some mistakes, which made us more aware of how to shoot or pass with confidence."
In this campaign, Rockets player Amen Thompson made 10 of 18 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, and scored 22 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals, with a plus-minus value of -10.
