Facts. The stats might not show it but if you watched the game, him and Gobert played great defense on Jokic last night.

[@lylaeloise3948]

Yeah I honestly thought it was one of his best games in the playoffs - he was so impactful to winning but the box score won’t show it, you have to watch the game. He was making the right reads whenever doubled and passing well. Hockey assists and played in control. Fought for boards and played EXCELLENT defense. I don’t care about how points, he was impactful.

[@spfdff]

[@dominiquebrown7183]

The Timberwolves doubled Jokic more forcing the others to step up but they were not making open shots. That 24-0 run the Timberwolves went on in the 4th set the tone for the rest of the game and they never let up. They lost three straight and were not about to give this game up. This series has been exhilarating and thrilling to watch. Game 5 Jokic was incredible but they didn't let him have his way this time. They used the same strategy that they used in game 2 without Rudy. You see Rudy was on the bench when they went on that 24-0 run.

[@jayoz3993]

You have Rudy and they have jokic That’s what the game 7 will come down to

[@JohnLarry-gw9zx]

!!!

[@lylaeloise3948]

Nuggets had to keep shooting the 3 even when they weren’t making it because the paint was mostly shut off. Rudy deterred players and Wolves were clogging the passing lanes so Nuggets were forced into more jumpers.
