“Nikola never tries to impose his will or force things that aren’t there. He’s going to read the game. He’s going to make the right play.” -- Michael Malone on Nikola Jokic after Game 1 win Story from msinger

Most of Denver’s locker room had cleared out after the Nuggets’ 104-93 win when an assistant coach grabbed a blue dry-erase board marker and headed to Jack White’s locker – the stall stationed directly to Jokic’s right.

It was, effectively, Jokic beginning his preparations for Game 2, a counter adjustment to the Heat’s impending counter. Jokic finished Game 1 with a 27-point, 14-assist, 10-rebound triple-double to overwhelm Miami’s undersized frontcourt. In the first half, he happily went to the locker room with 10 assists and only three shot attempts. At that point, the Nuggets had already established a 17-point lead.

“I don’t force it,” Jokic said. “I never force it, I think. … I just take whatever the game gives me.”
