27 points on 12 shots. Remarkable.
I don't know if there's an answer. Maybe take away his passing lanes and make him be a scorer. If the other guys are taken out of the flow it could affect 4th quarter rhythm, although this one was pretty much well over by then. I note that in the only game against the Suns where Jokic didn't register a triple double he ended up scoring 53 points---and lost. Perhaps making him score more could increase his fatigue and/or make him more prone to fouls. Just spitballin' here--I'm sure opponents have considered everything.
