With a laugh and a little venom in his in voice, he said Tuesday morning when asked how much his sore left knee is affecting him: “If you watch the game, I’m sure you’d be able to tell. At least the last game.
“But I should be better today.”
It turned out to be an understatement. Murray was the best he’s been all season in a 118-99 Nuggets win over the Mavericks, piling on 32 of his 45 points in the first half at American Airlines Center.
