The Nuggets' biggest problem is their defense.


In the third quarter, Paul of the Suns continued to get a score. During the first 7 minutes, he scored 12 points on 6 of 6 shots and helped the Suns to open the score with a mid-range shot. The Nuggets' new MVP Jokic's mentality completely collapsed. In one round, he fouled the Suns' Payne and directly knocked down the opponent. In the end, Jokic was expelled by the referee and committed a second-level malicious foul. And Booker of the Suns came forward for Payne, questioning Jokic, and in the end, he was also called a technical foul.
