Murray’s broken wrist and perfect shot blew away the competition in the day’s top-10
Jamal Murray’s presence atop Thursday’s top ten stages of NBA games is fully justified as he executed an even three-pointer that “dried” all of Portland.
One would expect Nikola Jokic to carry the Nuggets’ final and crucial offense against the Blazers. He had already scored 33 points.
Instead, the ball went into his hands Jamal Murray for an 8 second decision. The Canadian point guard was only 2/9 from 3-point range up to this point in the game, so the odds weren’t on his side. However, there was no room for hesitation. Especially since Denver 2 was behind and needed to score to at least salvage overtime.
Murray let the time pass and acted at the right time. Although Grant was close behind, the puck commander moved to the left, stepping back to put distance from the marker and scoring with a broken wrist to make the final 121-120.
His scowl was the continuation of the steady .9-inch shot in the game as the Blazers ran out of time to react. Not even for Lillard’s 40 points. This game-changing 3-pointer rightly climbed to the top of the NBA top 10 for the day. He played without competition.
