Jokic's Third Quarter Takeover vs. Minnesota (And the Counter the Wolves Still Haven't Tried)
Basketball
Jokic went 6-for-10 in the third quarter alone and basically said "I've seen enough, I'm taking over now." That's the x-factor Minnesota still hasn't found an answer for.
What Coach Nick points out here is interesting though — the counter might be putting a smaller defender on Joker and letting Rudy roam the weak side. We saw that kind of scheme rattle guys before. It forces Jokic to beat you one-on-one without the passing angles he loves, and it might just pull him out of his comfort zone.
Minnesota hasn't tried it yet. Game 2 is the time to find out if they will. #shorts
