Michael Malone to El Comercio: “We must practice solidarity basketball, that is our DNA”

Denver Nuggets fell in his second game of the preseason of the NBA; However, not everything was negative for Nikola Jokic’s team. Those from Colorado improved with the movement of the ball and had a better version of the substitute bench, commanded by Facundo Campazzo. After the game, El Comercio spoke with the coach Michael Malone on the DNA of the franchise Denver and the positive he got from this meeting.

Golden State Warriors, at the Chase Center, beat Denver Nuggets 118-116 in the second NBA preseason game. The visiting team did not have Michael Porter Jr. (rest), but they did have among their starters the last MVP of the regular season, the Serbian Nikola Jokic.

As expected, the coach Michael Malone He gave ‘The Joker’ less than 20 minutes (15:50), although he still managed to be the top scorer on his team with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists.

As happened in the first game against the Clippers, Denver he commanded during the first three quarters and ran out of gasoline in the last quarter, yielding the victory to the rival team.

After the end of the match, I asked the following to Michael Malone, coach de Denver Nuggets: “Despite the loss, what positive aspects do you get from the game against Warriors?”

The coach said the following: “The assists. We used to average 27 assists per game and against the Clippers we only had 20. We were well below expectations. Against Warriors we have completed 28, with good ball movement and a solidarity basketball. We have to do that every night, play for the team, looking for ways to improve our teammates ”.

Facundo Campazzo, the bank leader in Nuggets

With Mount Morris established as the titular shipowner appointed by Michael Malone, Facundo Campazzo was relegated to being the leader of the second unit in Denver Nuggets.

The Argentine played 22:19 minutes and contributed with 6 points (2/2 in field goals), distributed an assist and captured a rebound. It is expected that he can connect much more with his teammates, since the young Bones Hyland (rookie) has come to the team to threaten the minutes of the Cordoba, since he plays in the same position and is a weakness of the coach.
