The Nuggets were able to pick up a win in their first game following the All-Star break, holding on against Ja Morant and the resilient Memphis Grizzlies to cap off an interrupted road trip with a perfect 5-0 record.
Nikola Jokic was able to help deflect Morant’s layup on the Grizzlies possession, and the Nuggets held on for a 103-102 win. Tonight they’ll return to Ball Arena for the third matchup this season against Dallas, with the season series at one game apiece.
Jamal Murray will look to bounce against a team that is in the bottom third of the league in defense, after missing 13 of his 14 shots on Friday night.
