Why did DLo take such a bad shot!!! Like the old saying goes, “Desperation seizes the Sucka.” Just carry on as usual…

AD is playing well. Maybe they should focus on getting him the ball.

This was a concern with DLo in this matchup.
Can he make shots in such a high-pressure environment?
Can he maintain focus defensively off the ball? pic.twitter.com/vMPO6T3ASR

Tonight, DLo has been the third-best player…
For the Nuggets.
