As the Denver Nuggets prepare for the playoffs, the focus is on playing at the highest level possible on both ends of the floor. After Denver went through a slump on the offensive end during a recent 2-4 skid, strong performances against the San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers gave the team confidence on that end of the floor.
Although the Nuggets still have the 20th-ranked offense since the All-Star break, everyone knows what they are capable of when the ball is moving and shots are falling. The more important development for Denver in the second half of the season is the team’s stellar defense.
