I think part Denver’s reason to go zone more often in game 4 and even in game 5 was b/c Jokic lack of real rim protection defence. Clogging the paint limit SGA’s ability to go off and their two bigs sometimes staying in the paint makes it tough to attack the rim so going zone some possessions works for Denver.
im curious to know their methods for identifying zone defense. some possessions must be difficult to assess. was surprised to see the zone rates so low but thinking a lot of the extreme helps/loading may not be tagged as zone.

examples including houston's unique zone/box1 vs steph, zones (presses) that turn into man, one man zones (keeping jokic at rim)
