Denver Game Plan
1. ATTACK THE RIM: Weak rim protection (9.7 vs 10.9 lg avg). Feed interior scorers and drive aggressively.
2. DRIVE AND KICK: Poor help defense (14.0 vs 14.4 lg avg). Penetrate and collapse the defense for open kickouts.
3. KEY ASSIGNMENT: Contain Tyree Bruner (23.3 PPG, 29.2% USG). Assign best perimeter defender, deny touches.
