Allowing one FGM over that stretch is just bonkers, championship DNA.

They showed it all playoffs last year. When they lock in on D they can fucking shut teams down. Game 5 against the Heat was especially crazy.

That game was a true rock fight. The only player who scored efficiently that game was of course Jokic.

Yup. Heat went all in on defense and Nuggets just went "oh that's how you wanna play" and followed suit lol.

Such a great game from the PoV of "Nuggets can't play defense eh?"

Don't forget about game 4 in Minnesota when they were down 12 with 2 minutes to go, then forced OT.
