Jamal Murray’s Game 5 Explosion: Sign of a Star’s Rise or Just a Fleeting Flare?
He just hasnât felt like the same playoff assassin since the title.
Until Tuesday night.
Murray had what was easily his best playoff game since 2023, erupting for 43 points and leading the Nuggets to a 131-115 win. And if that Murray is back, the Nuggets have to be taken seriously as a contender once more.
Margin for Error
The Nuggets got a subpar scoring first quarter from Jokic. He had six assists, but he shot just 2 of 7 from the field and split a pair of free throws for five points. Itâs the kind of start the Nuggets wouldnât have been able to afford from Jokic this season. If he didnât play near his best for the entirety of the game against elite teams, the Nuggets didnât have a chance to win.
