Game 7 Showdown: Which Hidden Heroes Could Rewrite Nuggets-Thunder Playoff History?
The Thunder are leaving driving lanes for Murray on the pick-and-roll because they refuse to help off Jokic at all to help contain Murray. They are letting Murray drive into the paint and having their bigs come off their men and challenging him when he gets near the rim.
Murray struggled with the help a bit early in the series but had some well-paced drives and finishes last game. And he’s starting to use ball fakes to bait the Thunder defense when it’s in rotation. The Thunder are always eager to get ahead of the next pass, and Murray is the Nugget who is most effective at using that against them.
