17 three-pointers were a disastrous defeat! Jokic’s 14+14+15 was unreasonable, and the three major new players are getting better.

On October 26, the NBA regular season continues, with the Nuggets playing against the Suns at home. The Suns played back-to-back games in this game. They suffered a disastrous defeat against the Clippers in the last game. The Nuggets came out in good offensive condition, and then slowly took the initiative on the court and widened the point difference. They took a 17-point lead at halftime, but the Suns were unable to narrow the point difference in the second half. In the end, the Suns defeated the Nuggets 111-133 and suffered a 2-game losing streak.

The Nuggets lost to the Warriors in the opening game, and this time they also want to win their first win of the new season. At first, Jokic had no desire to attack. He just let his teammates attack, and the effect was good. After that, the team also took the initiative on the court and continued to widen the point difference. It completely took the initiative on the court. After three quarters, it led by 17 points. In the final quarter, it directly opened up to more than 20 points, and the game lost suspense. In the end, the Nuggets defeated the Suns 133-111 and won their first victory of the new season.

Compared with the previous game, the Suns were in good offensive shape this time, especially from beyond the three-point line, hitting 17 three-pointers, almost twice as many as the Nuggets. But with such a performance, the Suns were still beaten. This was also related to their defense, which was completely unable to limit the opponent's offense. The Clippers scored 129 points in the last game, and this time they lost a whopping 133 points. Booker was in good form this time, scoring 31 points and 7 assists on 10-of-16 shooting, but he also made 8 turnovers.

Jokic's performance in the opening game was a bit poor, and many of his offensive choices were unreasonable. Perhaps he was dissatisfied with outside reports. This time he made zero shots in the first quarter and helped the team with passes. Jokic only took 8 shots in the whole game, hit 5 goals, and scored 14 points, which was the lowest score among the team's starting five. However, he also had 14 rebounds and 15 assists, and the plus-minus value of +27 ranked first in the team. This is his ability. He can help the team even if he does not score. It is really unreasonable.

For the Nuggets, Jokic is a routine operation, but what makes them even happier is the state of the three new players, who are getting better with the team. Among them, Johnson, who was in poor form in his first show, adjusted this time and scored 15 points and 4 rebounds on 4-of-9 shooting; Brown, who came off the bench, scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists on 4-of-6 shooting, and Varan scored 12 points and 7 rebounds on 4-of-10 shooting. Hardaway Jr. is still looking for rhythm. This time he only scored 4 points on 1 of 6.
