Draymond Green Makes Incredible Observation About Nikola Jokic
The Denver Nuggets suffered a tough loss to the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, surrendering home court advantage as the series shifts to Miami. Nuggets guard Jamal Murray created a three-point look for himself at the buzzer which would have tied the game, but it just missed short, and Miami tied the series.
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green made an incredible observation about Nikola Jokic's body language following this missed shot from Murray:
As Green pointed out, Jokic did not act as if he should have received the ball in that situation, nor did he act upset with Murray for taking and missing that shot. Instead, he expressed disappointment that the shot didn't go in, but did not portray any level of frustration with his teammate in that moment.
According to Green, stuff like this is why the Nuggets are in the NBA Finals. It takes a level if cohesion and confidence to reach this stage, and Jokic's leadership ability, even in moment like that, allows Denver to be amongst the best in those categories.
Now heading to Miami with the series tied 1-1, the Nuggets will look to regain home court advantage with a win in Game 3 or 4. While Denver is heavily favored in this series, Miami is here for a reason, and will not go quietly.
