He said there was obviously a plan to face Jokic on Friday, but also stressed that Jokic reads the game very well and senses when another player is coming at him on defense.
“If he overdoes it, he passes to the free player and his teammates know where to be. “He plays very efficiently and is a great master,” Porzingis praised his opponent.
Porzingis started the game well, scoring 15 points in the first quarter, but then Aaron Gordon began covering him defensively, which reduced the effectiveness of the Latvian offense.
The Latvian center praised the opposing team’s tactical solutions and added: “If we play with them in play-off games, the games will be like chess.”
At the end of the game, the team decided to pass the ball to their leader Jason Tatum, but his shot was not accurate.
“We didn’t win, but I think we played the right way in the end. Even though we lost, it was a great game for us,” Porzingis praised the quality of the game and emphasized that it was a game that was easy to analyze against a team as strong as the league champions and added that the ” “Celts” want to win the championship.
The “Celtics” will play their next game on Sunday against the Houston “Rockets”.
With 32 wins in 42 games, the Celtics are in first place in the Eastern Conference and the entire league, while the Nuggets are third in the West with a record of 29-14.
