Miami Heat Erik Spoelstra hit back at "ridiculous" notions from "untrained eyes" on how his team can contain Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic.
Fresh off the Heat levelling the NBA Finals at 1-1 with a 111-108 win on Sunday night, when Jokic racked up 41 points and 11 rebounds but only a post-season low four assists, Spoelstra was asked by a reporter if the key to overcoming the two-time MVP is to "turn him into a scorer or a passer".
Jokic has been in incredible form throughout the playoffs with nine triple-doubles showing his elite abilities as a scorer, creator and defender, and Spoelstra quickly rubbished the suggestion the Serb's brilliance can be curbed so simply.
