There's some motivation for Jovic going up against Jokic and then being able to respond to that.

But the usage rate was simply because you don't have Bam Adebayo as your big man.

So now all of a sudden he's got to be playing some of that role where he's playing small ball five at times.

I mean, they've deployed Kashad Johnson.

Using him in the post, just how Jokic suggested.

Well, that's been what they've been trying to do.

They've been trying to get Jovic to use his body to be physical.

You hear it on the broadcast.

You hear Karate talk about it all the time.

Spolstra was after that unbelievable game.

It was 29-9-6 for Jovic.

And he's talking about the last play of the game where he could have iced it and took like a step back three and was like, why is he doing this James Harden thing?

I told him, go post up.

Use your body.

Be physical.

He would have been able to do it.

That's the stuff they're trying to get him to do.

They're trying to get Kalel Ware to grow physically.

But thus far, the offense has been great in its interchangeable pieces, which is nice for this team that's been constantly dealing with injuries.

So the last two games, the Heat have scored 126 and 136.
