"In the biggest moment, he rises," Canada's Jamal Murray delivers again for Nuggets

DENVER — Taped to the wall beside Jamal Murray's stall in the Denver Nuggets' locker-room is a picture of Bruce Lee with a quote from the martial arts legend.

"Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do," it reads.

The Canadian guard followed the credo to perfection Monday night at Ball Arena, fighting through a left calf strain to deliver a performance to remember.

Murray's 14-footer with 3.6 seconds left was the difference as Denver beat the Los Angeles Lakers 108-106 to complete a five-game win in the first-round NBA playoff series.
