Can Oklahoma City’s Relentless Pressure Finally Silence Nikola Jokic’s Game-Changing Dominance?
That speaks to the Thunderâs length, discipline and depth â traits that disrupt even the most efficient offenses. No one defender stops Jokic, but Oklahoma City shrinks the floor as a unit, rotates early, crowd passing lanes, and trusts its help.
Jokic is excellent at exploiting weak spots, but the Thunder donât have weak spots. All seven Thunder players who played 20 or more minutes per game in the first round have a positive defensive DRIP. Itâs not about beating Jokic at his game; itâs about tilting the game away from his pace altogether.
