Story: Iguodala dominated both ends. His True Shooting percentage was 73%, and he was able to generate turnovers not only via steals but blocks. His assists were at the rim or for threes. Ultimately, a quasi-close game was a blowout whenever he was on the floor. There’s a reason that the Nuggets won a franchise record 57 games during Iguodala’s lone season in powder blue, and it’s the same reason George Karl trusted him enough to lead the Nuggets in minutes played. Whether or not it showed in his line, Iguodala made the Nuggets better–and the more involved he was, the more explosive they were.
