Following two disappointing losses in Boston and Washington, D.C., earlier this week, the Denver Nuggets got back on track in a comfortable 120-103 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.
Of course, the talk was centered around Jamal Murray’s 50-point performance, which marked a new regular-season career-high for the 23-year-old guard. Murray scored those 50 points on 84 percent shooting from the field and knocked down eight 3-pointers in the dominant display, continuing a trend of strong performances from the Canadian over the past week.
