Denver Game Plan
1. ATTACK THE RIM: Weak rim protection (10.4 vs 11.3 lg avg). Feed interior scorers and drive aggressively.
2. DEFEND THE ARC: Strong 3PT team (15.9 vs 14.6 lg avg). Close out hard on shooters, contest every three.
3. KEY ASSIGNMENT: Contain Kavian Hawes (22.0 PPG, 26.7% USG). Assign best perimeter defender, deny touches.
