Denver is good with this air

Miami not so much

Yeah, there was rust. Didn’t see the rust? It was everywhere, probably from all that oxygen. Game 1 of the Finals was the worst game Denver played in weeks, since that night Nikola Jokic scored 53 points against the Suns in a loss.

He scored 53 and that was Denver’s worst game.

But there was rust on Thursday, Denver missed 19 of 27 three-pointers, an understandable loss of live-action legs after resting eight days. Miami appeared fine, it was Denver which was a little off.
