Nikola Jokic might not need five preseason games to actually be ready for the opener. And why are we saying that? The three-time delivered an unexpected behind-the-back pass to Cameron Johnson, who then nailed a three-pointer.

It’s not the pass itself but the range and location. Jokic stood at the left end of the baseline and swung the ball past three Utah Jazz defenders to Johnson at the right end of the baseline.

The Heat comfortably won their first preseason game against the Raptors, 129-105. Although he did not lead the game in scoring, the Miami fanbase got its first look at Giannis Antetokounmpo in a Heat uniform. He scored nine points, going 3-for-3 from the field. Tim Hardaway Jr. led the Heat in scoring with 14 points off the bench. Meanwhile, Toronto had a tie in the top scorers, with RJ Barrett and Tyreke Key managing 15 points apiece.

Lauri Markkanen scored a game-high 17 points as the Utah Jazz won their first preseason game against the Denver Nuggets. Keyonte George also had 15 points while shooting 5-for-8 from the field. On the other hand, only one Nuggets player reached double digits, with Aaron Gordon scoring 12 points. Nikola Jokic scored just three points in 15 minutes.

The LA Clippers, who have been in the news all offseason for the wrong reasons, edged out the Golden State Warriors in a close game. Rui Hachimura scored 21 points while shooting 8-for-11 from the field and 4-for-5 from three-point range. Meanwhile, only one Warriors starter reached double digits, with Stephen Curry scoring 10. New addition Yaxel Lendeborg managed just four points in 19 minutes.
