Keys to the Game:
•Defend the Perimeter
The Nuggets are pretty good at shooting the three ball, in fact they shot 48% from three against the Lakers on Friday night. Don't let guys like Gary Harris get open from behind the arch. Make them drive.
•Steals
Get some steals today. The Nuggets have been passing the ball well lately. Intercept those passes and turn it into fast-breaks.
