The Heat are shooting 44% on shots inside 6 feet against Nikola Jokic in the finals

This stat was brought up by Ben Taylor in the latest Thinking Basketball podcast. How much does everyone think this is poor shooting performance from Miami versus genuine defensive improvement from Jokic?

His motor has been crazy, and one thing I've noticed is that he's always using his hands to make players uncomfortable. Almost anytime the player Jokic is defending doesn't have the ball, they are met with some *aggressive* hand checking.
