DENVER -- After drilling his second 3-pointer in the span of 28 seconds midway through the fourth quarter to essentially bury the Phoenix Suns in Game 1, Jamal Murray stood at halfcourt during the ensuing timeout and implored the Denver home crowd to stand up and get loud.
"We waited for this!" Murray shouted twice while pointing his fingers toward his home floor.
Murray and the Denver Nuggets delivered an emphatic statement Saturday and reminded everyone they are the top seed in the Western Conference with a 125-107 rout over the Suns at Ball Arena.
