Denver Game Plan

1. ATTACK THE RIM: Weak rim protection (10.6 vs 11.3 lg avg). Feed interior scorers and drive aggressively.
2. DRIVE AND KICK: Poor help defense (13.4 vs 14.5 lg avg). Penetrate and collapse the defense for open kickouts.
3. ISO OPPORTUNITIES: Weak perimeter defense (11.4 vs 13.0 lg avg). Let wing creators attack 1-on-1.
4. DEFEND THE ARC: Strong 3PT team (15.2 vs 14.6 lg avg). Close out hard on shooters, contest every three.
5. KEY ASSIGNMENT: Contain Zaire Phifer (19.4 PPG, 24.8% USG). Assign best perimeter defender, deny touches.
