SALT LAKE CITY — Denver Nuggets head coach Mike Malone called Monday’s fourth quarter and overtime periods “the Jamal Murray show.”
Scoreless through the majority of the fourth quarter, Murray heated up at exactly the right time for the Nuggets, scoring 20 points from the 3:13 mark in the final period of regulation until his final dagger three sailed through the net with 46 seconds left in overtime.
Murray finished the game with an incredibly efficient team-high 36 points, shooting 13-of-20 from the field, including going 6-of-9 from 3-point land.
“Every time he shot it, it was like you knew it was going in.
