I agree. And, as we discussed in the discord, there was a significant portion of this four foul time for Jokic when Boban was in the game. This did NOT result in any added pressure on Jokic as a defender, as some here might blindly claim. In fact, I'd argue that chasing WCS or Powell up and down the court might have been more effective in that specific way.
