How Jamal Murray got his groove back in games four and five against the Spurs

Jamal Murray was struggling in his NBA playoff debut. Through the first three games of the series against the San Antonio Spurs, the Blue Arrow was shooting just 39.1% from the field and 28.6% from the three-point line. He had as many turnovers as assists and, outside of a red-hot 4th quarter in game two, he was getting outplayed by his counterpart, Derrick White. As a team, the Nuggets were in a 2-1 hole and facing a must-win game four on the road with absolutely no momentum and a young team that was on the brink of losing hold of the proverbial rope.
