The Upcoming Challenge

Denver's defense cannot afford complacency either; limiting Detroit's chances in the paint while contesting perimeter shots will be vital for keeping them at bay. Given Denver’s recent defensive ratings alongside effective field goal percentages that hover around impressive marks like 60 percent against Charlotte Hornets on February 20th showcase they are more than capable of achieving this balance.
