Denver Game Plan
1. ATTACK THE RIM: Weak rim protection (10.1 vs 10.9 lg avg). Feed interior scorers and drive aggressively.
2. DEFEND THE ARC: Strong 3PT team (15.6 vs 14.5 lg avg). Close out hard on shooters, contest every three.
3. KEY ASSIGNMENT: Contain Marco De Luca (22.0 PPG, 28.6% USG). Assign best perimeter defender, deny touches.
