Jokic didn't do his best to attack in the beginning, he kept sharing the ball with Porter Jr. and Murray, he only scored 8 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists on 6 shots in the first quarter, and the air cut dunk to Porter Jr. was very exciting, his passing was really like a scalpel, and his assists in this series were far more than LeBron's although they were not as watchable as James.
After the second quarter, the Nuggets trailed by 13 points, and the Nuggets let the Lakers play three double-doubles in the half, although the Nuggets also had three double-doubles, but Murray felt very poor in 4 of 11 in the half, Jokic was 2 of 4 + 3 of 3 free throws in the second quarter and scored 7 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 block, and Jokic had 15 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block in the half, but he was also blocked once by thick eyebrows.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Jokic hit two three-pointers in a row to help the team close the 15-point gap, but Russell scored 5 points again to help the Lakers pull away to more than 10 points again, Jokic hit the ball directly on a frontcourt fast break and flew to Porter's hand and dunked directly, Jokic was close to a quasi-triple-double before the third quarter was over, 25 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and 2 of 7 in the third quarter did not feel very good.
In the final quarter, every time the Lakers pulled up to 15 points, they relied on Jokic's own scoring and assists to narrow down to less than 10 points, Jokic's two 2+1 also made Lakers fans sweat, and in the end his score still exceeded the thick eyebrows, Jokic scored 8 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds in 3 of the last quarter, and thick eyebrows scored 2 points and 4 rebounds in the last quarter.
