Denver Game Plan
1. ATTACK THE RIM: Weak rim protection (10.6 vs 10.9 lg avg). Feed interior scorers and drive aggressively.
2. DRIVE AND KICK: Poor help defense (13.2 vs 14.4 lg avg). Penetrate and collapse the defense for open kickouts.
3. CRASH THE BOARDS: Poor defensive rebounding (12.5 vs 12.9 lg avg). Send offensive rebounders for second-chance points.
4. PACK THE PAINT: Weak 3PT shooting (13.2 vs 14.5 lg avg). Sag off non-shooters and clog driving lanes.
5. CROWD THE LANE: Poor spacing (8.7 vs 11.4 lg avg). Play aggressive help defense — their shooters won't punish you.
6. KEY ASSIGNMENT: Contain DJ McCants (21.5 PPG, 37.5% USG). Assign best perimeter defender, deny touches.
