How did the Nuggets hide Jokic on defense?

Wanted to preface this by saying this is not Jokic hate. But apart from the 2023 Nuggets, any championship team over the past decade has always had a center that historically was able to protect the rim -

2024 : Porzingis
2023 : Draymond
2021 : Brook/Giannis
2020 : AD
2019 : Ibaka/Gasol
2018 : Draymond
2017 : Draymond
2016 : TT
2015 : Draymond

Obviously Jokic is a gamebreaking offensive force - the best playmaker in basketball and now 3rd in the league in PPG while shooting 45% on 5 attempts a game. But his rim protection has never improved as his vert is limited and he's not quick or switchable. How did the Nuggets hide him on defense in the title year? Were there any specific type of schemes they ran, or was it just the brilliance of Gordon? Will the Nuggets be exposed if they face another team with a capable shooting 4 like KAT which requires Gordon to be on the perimeter more often and unable to provide help? Is it possible that with the loss of KCP and Brown in consecutive years closed the title window of the Nuggets?
