Coming off a game where Nikola Jokic had a 32-20-10 triple-double the Phoenix Suns should feel good about the gameplans that have been used to defend him in this series. While this series is not over, the fact that the execution has been at such a high level should instill confidence in the team and for fans going forward.

The Phoenix Suns’ main strategy against Jokic is to try and limit his exceptional passing, and through three games it has worked.

Through the first two games, Jokic had collected a total of only nine assists compared to 40 shot attempts.
