It is pretty incredible that the Spurs aren’t up 2-0 on these Denver Nuggets. They got great games from DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge to go along with another very good performance from sophomore guard Derrick White. They held a 19-point lead at one point in the 3rd quarter, leading by 6 at the start of the 4th. What happened?
Jamal Murray happened, that’s what. Held scoreless for most of the game, Murray went off in the 4th, scoring 21 of his 24 points on 8/9 shooting, including a few ridiculous shots that completely stole momentum away from San Antonio and helped Denver not only get back in the game, but into this series.
