George Karl discussed Denver's strategy to defend Chris Paul ahead of Monday's game.

“First of all, you’ve got to keep him out of transitional situations, where he’s very good,” Karl said. “And that’s where he’s most comfortable. He’s always going to try to push you, push the ball into a play.

“Half-court, his pick-and-rolls come in every package that we know of. Basically, we’ve got to just put two guys on him and try to keep him out of the paint and away from orchestrating.”
