Jamal Murray drops 50 while wearing Breonna Taylor, George Floyd shoes: 'They give me life'

Jamal Murray was left speechless and out of breath following the Denver Nuggets’ 119-107 win over the Utah Jazz on Sunday night, which forced a Game 7 in their opening-round playoff series at Walt Disney World.

It was his shoes — and, more importantly, what they represent.

Murray dropped 50 points while shooting an impressive 9-of-12 from behind the 3-point line in their 12-point win.
