Mostly contested jumpers tonight, Q, don't you think. Gordon had a wide open three from the left corner but didn't pull the trigger. Most of the others have been well defended.

Okay, bench has to come in and contribute

They're also playing him defensively more like game 2, except this time with Rudy.

YES! The defense is back! Huge 3!! YESS!

Finally, the defense is being rewarded with some miscues and missed shots by Denver. They seemed to just shrug everything off the last couple games and everything just went in no matter how well contested. 'Bout time!

I'm seeing all KAT on Joker except on a couple switches/

KAT doing a really nice job not getting bumped off his spot by Jokic in the post. Great positional defense on his part.

Ugh, Ant, you gotta go earlier than that!

I think that last possession of the quarter was the first time Joker got the ball on the low block. He's just not as effective when he gets the ball 15+ feet from the basket.

C'mon crowd, carry us through
