Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler honors Nikola Jokic’s talent on the eve of Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Denver Nuggets.
“He moves his feet very well, he knows how to change the decision of the attacker who arrives in the box….He grabs a lot of offensive rebounds, and his outler passes are truly incredible…As far as you look mainly at what he can do on offense, Jokic is also an outstanding defender.
Butler spoke also of his mindset for tomorrow’s challenge:
“It’s a game of chess, maybe in game 1 I attacked less than I should have, preferring to serve the free partner… Which I will continue to do, because I will continue to play in the right way… But at the same time it is important that I remain aggressive in attacking the area, both to free my teammates and to score. I just have to be myself…”
On the rest of the series.
“We are 0-1, but we know that we will be the ones to reach 4… The intermediate score doesn’t count, but whoever reaches 4 first, only then will the series be over”
