Denver is good with this air

Miami not so much

Denver is good with this air

Yeah, there was rust. Didn’t see the rust? It was everywhere, probably from all that oxygen. Game 1 of the Finals was the worst game Denver played in weeks, since that night Nikola Jokic scored 53 points against the Suns in a loss.

He scored 53 and that was Denver’s worst game.

But there was rust on Thursday, Denver missed 19 of 27 three-pointers, an understandable loss of live-action legs after resting eight days. Miami appeared fine, it was Denver which was a little off.
