Denver Game Plan
1. DEFEND THE ARC: Strong 3PT team (15.3 vs 14.5 lg avg). Close out hard on shooters, contest every three.
2. CROWD THE LANE: Poor spacing (10.1 vs 11.4 lg avg). Play aggressive help defense — their shooters won't punish you.
3. KEY ASSIGNMENT: Contain Derrick Lynch (32.3 PPG, 34.6% USG). Assign best perimeter defender, deny touches.
