The playoffs are where things start to heat up, and the Denver Nuggets’ Jamal Murray knows that firsthand.
On Tuesday night as the Nuggets took on the San Antonio Spurs, Murray caught fire in the fourth quarter en route to a Denver win, 114-105.
Murray scored 21 points in a fourth quarter push that helped Denver tie the series after San Antonio took Game 1 in the Rockies. The young guard finished with 24 points, four assists, two rebounds, and a steal.
Beautiful sentiment from Nuggets coach Michael Malone on why he stuck with Jamal Murray despite rough first three quarters in Game 2 win over Spurs: "I knew in my heart he needed to get these minutes. I needed to show him I believed him." pic.twitter.com/Nrmaon5FYc
