The Denver Nuggets fell one game short of the playoffs, and it may have hit Jamal Murray the hardest of anyone.
Going back and listening to his exit interview (which I will link right here) it’s evident that underneath a calm demeanor, Murray is seething with a controlled rage. When asked the question of how he’s feeling after a loss in the season finale to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a playoff spot, Murray simply said, “I’m just ready to get back to work.”
I have no doubt that Murray has put in a ton of work already, and for the Nuggets to take the next step as a team, they need their point guard to take big leaps this year.
