Lack of Energy

When the Nuggets lack energy, on either the offensive or defensive end, things turn out not so well.

Tonight, a large portion of our field goal attempts were short.

That signaled a lack of energy or reluctance to shoot. It appeared the Nuggets were suffering from both.

If they want to win games, they need to win the hustle plays, especially when the offense is cold just like it was tonight.
