Jamal Murray was benched for the entire fourth quarter of Tuesday’s loss to Dallas, scoring six points with one block and one triple in 24 minutes.
Murray wasn’t the only victim of coach Michael Malone’s temper tantrum as Nikola Jokic was benched for the entire fourth quarter as well. “We had a couple of guys tonight that um....it’s one thing to miss shots and to make mistakes, and it’s another thing to go out there and go through the motions,” Malone said. Did we mention that the Nuggets are in ninth place and fighting for a playoff spot? Yikes.
