Here’s a thread on the paint packing and pre-rotating LA saw from Denver in the second half of game 2.
These tactics from Denver limited LA’s percentage of shots at the rim severely, with it dropping to just 15% in the second half.
At the end of the thread we see LA’s counter. https://t.co/iviTXHXbGh

Denver’s paint packing and pre-rotating in the second half of game 2

Great Twitter thread from Tim at Cranjis McBasketball. Lakers just made it easy for Denver to pack the paint by not spreading out so one defender could guard multiple players and by standing still rather than cutting and moving. Also doesn’t help to beat this coverage when you have two non-shooters on the floor in Dwight and Rajon. Took way too long for Frank and staff to adjust to this. Hopefully, we’ll see better spacing, movement, and personnel on the floor when Denver tries this tonight.
