The Nuggets fell behind from the start of this game, constantly pressured by the Raptors' offense both inside and outside throughout.
The biggest impact of the decline in stamina is the reduced willingness to defend from the entire team.
Feet can't keep up, mentally exhausted, lacking the physical strength to challenge the opponent.
Playing like this makes it easier for the Raptors.
This kind of consecutive away games in the NBA is a great test for both the players' physical stamina and psychology.
Zeng Xingyang's solo tactics weren't as effective as before.
Lowry is short but taller than Little Thomas, and his style of play is very tough, his actions very ruthless.
Zeng Xingyang was already very tired, so the success rate dropped sharply.
Jokic was also caught in a struggle with Valanciunas, Valan is tall and has physical confrontation, in a situation where teammates can't find openings, Jokic was severely limited too.
