In the last minute, Miami pursued and finished with an 11-point lead, but in reality it was a much more overwhelming game. Denver, who was rated as an overwhelming top dog even before the start of the series, shook Miami all the time, showing off his potential.

Nikola Jokic, who played his first final match in his life, dominated the game with unwavering influence. With 27 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists, he became the second player in history to achieve a triple-double in his NBA Finals debut, after Jason Kidd.

Jokic, who seemed unwaveringly comfortable, only committed two turnovers while tallying 14 assists. He also displayed clever management of the game, getting 12 free throws. Miami prepared a customized defense for Yokichi, but was attacked in vain by his play using BQ.

Jokic’s strengths were evident in the game. Even though he is the best center, Jokic is not very greedy for his attacks. From his early days, he focused on team play rather than his personal record, saving his teammates.

Jokic only threw 3 field goals in the first half, but scored 10 assists and achieved a double-double early. Denver, who scored a lot of points in the first half besides Jokic, found time to finish the second quarter with a 17-point lead. Jokic focused more on scoring in the second half and scored 27 points, the most in the team.

“That’s the charm of Nicola Jokic,” said manager Mike Malone. The most important point is that Jokic is a player who has a positive influence on all team members.”

For Jokic, what mattered was winning, not scoring. In his post-game interview, he said he tried to focus on winning rather than scoring or shooting.

“The most important thing is to win the game,” Jokic said. “I’m trying to win the game by any means. I know I need to shoot and I don’t have to score to make an impact in the game.”

Yokichi was right. Even if he doesn’t have to work hard to score, Denver has many great players such as Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Michael Porter Jr., Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Bruce Brown. It is a team that can win enough even if it focuses on assists and game assembly by taking advantage of Yokichi’s strengths.

Can Denver, which is off to a good start, hold on to the second game and leave for Miami with two consecutive wins? The second game will be held at the same place on the 5th.
