Nuggets need to go at Harden every possession. He'll play even less D than usual trying to avoid a 5th foul.

Completely unnecessary flop attempt by Harden.

Harden resorting to foul-baiting like a MF'er this half. SGA would be proud.

had to be something else. I can recall lebron 41 x 2 vs the Warriors in 2016 just off the top of my head. Probably did it in 2018 too

Zubac really making Jokic work every possession. He's clearly better defender than Gobert
