Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic helped his team earn a 104-93 win in Game 1 of the NBA Finals with his outstanding performance. Although Jokic secured a triple-double and dominated the game, he warned his team against complacency as the Miami Heat had a lot more to offer. Throughout the game, the Heat struggled to convert their chances, which the Nuggets took advantage of. However, towards the end of the fourth quarter, the Heat showed signs of revival but failed to make a comeback.
Jokic acknowledged that the team had a huge task ahead, and they could not underestimate their opponents. Speaking to Shaquille O’Neal and the rest of the NBA on TNT crew, he emphasized the importance of staying focused.
While the Nuggets look strong, Jokic is the player that can take the game away from Miami Heat with his diverse skillset. The Heat have a brilliant coach in Erik Spoelstra, who can make great adjustments and try to contain Jokic.
Overall, Jokic’s warning to stay focused indicates that the Nuggets are not taking their opponents lightly, and it will be an exciting NBA Finals to watch.
