Brown, Karl Named Coaches of Month
Detroit Pistons head coach Larry Brown and Denver Nuggets head coach George
Karl today were named the Eastern and Western Conference Coaches of the Month
for games played in February.
Brown led the Pistons to a 9-1 month, the team’s highest winning percentage
in a month since the Pistons went 10-1 in February of 1990. Pistons opponents
were held under 90 points in seven of their nine wins. The team averaged 7.4
blocks (opponents had just 3.9), 7.0 steals and only 12.3 turnovers in
February. The Pistons scored over 100 points in five of their nine wins, and
prior to February, they had only surpassed the 100-point mark nine times this
season. The Pistons are on a seven-game overall winning streak and have won
all seven of their past home games.
Karl, in his first full month as head coach of the Nuggets, led the team to
an 8-4 record, going 4-0 at home and 4-4 on the road. Prior to February, the
Nuggets had won only 8 of 20 road games. Under Karl, the defense improved as
it allowed only 92.3 points per game (6th in the league) on 42.6% shooting
from the field. Before February the Nuggets were giving up 97.8 points per
game on 45.7% shooting.
