Wanting forward a little bit, Jokic killed the Warmth this yr. Averaged 23/12/10 on 69/67/100 capturing splits.
Bam is clearly an important defensive participant, however he struggled one-on-one in that matchup. pic.twitter.com/vebqbRCMRa – 3:47 PM

Throughout a late 4th-quarter timeout in Recreation 3, “Coach Jokic” took command of the Nuggets’ huddle. His directions have been easy: Let me and Jamal Murray run two-man recreation.
“We’ll make the appropriate reads,” Jokic informed his teammates.
That’s precisely what occurred:
