PORTLAND -- Jamal Murray opened Game 4 driving baseline when he was forced to take a fading behind-the-basket rainbow shot that floated over the backboard and dropped in.
And the guard sealed the game with six clutch free throws in the final 13.2 seconds to help the Denver Nuggets pull off their gutsiest victory of the season with a 116-112 win over the Portland Trail Blazers to even this best-of-seven series at 2-2.
Just over 40 hours after dropping Game 3 in a grueling four-overtime marathon that matched the longest in NBA playoff history, the Nuggets returned to the Moda Center determined not to let fatigue decide the outcome of their season.
