Denver Game Plan

1. DRIVE AND KICK: Poor help defense (14.0 vs 14.5 lg avg). Penetrate and collapse the defense for open kickouts.
2. ISO OPPORTUNITIES: Weak perimeter defense (12.6 vs 13.0 lg avg). Let wing creators attack 1-on-1.
3. PACK THE PAINT: Weak 3PT shooting (12.4 vs 14.6 lg avg). Sag off non-shooters and clog driving lanes.
4. CROWD THE LANE: Poor spacing (8.1 vs 11.4 lg avg). Play aggressive help defense — their shooters won't punish you.
5. KEY ASSIGNMENT: Contain Brandon Arenas (25.9 PPG, 32.7% USG). Assign best perimeter defender, deny touches.
