Jamal Murray’s Game 5 Explosion: Sign of a Star’s Rise or Just a Fleeting Flare?
Magical Beginning or Mirage?
The game felt different for Murray, but it could just be a fleeting moment, a reminder of the player Murray was two postseasons ago.
After all, weâre just one game removed from Murray struggling mightily against the Clippers’ athletic defenders. He had hit just 2 of 9 3-pointers combined in Games 3 and 4.
Those minutes without Jokic on the floor involved Murray sharing the court with Russell Westbrook and were largely kept afloat by an offensive explosion. That involved two straight 3-pointers by Westbrook in the second quarter. In a one-game sample, Westbrook and Murray going nuclear was enough to outscore the Clippers in those minutes.
