Practice the 'center pull' until it is muscle memory.A large unit like a Giant can physically block smaller units from pathing correctly.Place your Archer directly behind your King tower so they split into both lanes, defending two pushes at once.
Physical Manipulation
If a fast enemy unit (like a Bandit) locks onto your tower, you can drop a heavy unit (like a Prince) directly on top of her.
If an Inferno Tower is melting your massive Golem, a perfectly timed Zap will stun it, causing it to retarget onto the cheap skeletons you just deployed nearby.
