The List is a film study deep dive on the Denver Nuggets. In today’s edition, Adam Mares looks at the details from game one of the Nuggets-Timberwolves series.

However, there are ways to compromise that tactic, especially in transition and after defensive stops. The Nuggets did a poor job of exploiting those details in game one. Can they hone in their focus and execution in game two?
