“When we start deciding to defend, we’ll start winning again,” said Vogel.

When asked about one decisive play, a late Randy Foye 3, he didn’t seem concerned with a singular breakdown but more the team-wide failure of execution that allowed the Nuggets to run roughshod over them for an entire quarter.
