When you win a game shooting 18% from 3 and 56% from FT line, you are the better team. It’s kinda sad the Nuggets couldn’t sweep and win Game 5 handily. The narrative will be the Heat really hung in there, but to me, the Nuggets just shot very poorly and should’ve blown Heat out.

That said, the last 5 minutes were tremendous. Found myself thinking how great it would be if all games were played with such defensive intensity. But they obviously can’t be. That’s what makes those rare moments when you find two teams battling giving it everything they have so compelling.

Jokic led the playoffs in points, rebounds, and assists it’s for first time in NBA history. Hopefully we will see more guys emulating him than say Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to pick a couple examples.

Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke has now won a championship with each team he owns in the last three years. 2021 Rams. 2022 Avalanche. 2023 Nuggets.
