But you brought up McDaniels too and DiVincenzo.

While Rudy was trying his best to turn the tap off of Jokic scoring, they were doing a good job, those two guys, perimeter defenders, their on-ball activity on Jamal Murray in that obviously patented two-man game.

They're putting a kink in the garden hose to try and slow that too.

They just really ramped it up, their physicality with them and getting out on them.

So incredible stuff because we don't see a lot of teams –

figure out how to stop the Jokic-Murray two-man game down the stretch.

And yeah, you got to hope and pray that they just missed some shots, which they did, but you also have to make it difficult and tire them out, and they did a great job.

Yeah, great job for Jamal Murray to bounce back.

He was 0-4 from three in the first game, 0-4-8 to 6-14.

He was feeling good, but Anthony Edwards was big.

defensively he provided Minnesota.

There are only two blocks of the game.

And this guy has a knee that is bothering him.

They're calling it the old runner's knee.

As Sean said, the same thing that Steph Curry is going through right now.

And,

You could see Anthony Edwards needed to lay down at times, you know, when the guys get those few extra seconds on the floor.

Like, he isn't right.

But effort level, obviously, there.

And trickles down to everybody, for sure.
