As the Denver Nuggets returned home following a tough road trip, it was evident to head coach Michael Malone that the team’s offense needed to get back to the basics. For a Nuggets team predicated on ball movement, the lack of high-level passing during the team’s 1-4 stretch was disappointing for Malone.
“Get back to playing Nuggets basketball,” he said, listing what the team needs to do to finish the regular season strong. “We've done it in stretches, but it can't just be every other quarter. It has to be for 48 minutes."
Before practice on Monday, Malone sat the team down and showed several clips in which the offense took a shot after making less than two passes.
