Nuggets preseason underway

The Nuggets split their first two exhibition games under new coach Michael Malone, losing to the Los Angeles Clippers and defeating the Dallas Mavericks, and there's much that can be dissected from those performances. The offense was kept simple. The Nuggets ran off misses, and the fast break mostly faded into quick, high-screen action to get the ball handler into the paint and keep the action flowing toward the rim. In the half court, the Nuggets ran NBA staple plays.
