Caught up with Jamal Murray’s father, Roger, after Game 4: “We train for the moment because that’s the moment we perform in,” he told DNVR. “The regular thing is the regular thing, anybody can do it. But the moment is the moment, and that’s what you put your work in for.” – 12:08 AM

Aaron Gordon says the Nuggets feel like they have a counter for “pretty much everything” when it comes to how opposing teams guard the Jamal Murray-Nikola Jokic two-man game.
“When we’re clicking, we’re a juggernaut offensively and defensively, too.” – 11:59 PM

Jamal Murray these playoffs has been astonishingly good. It’s not just shot-making – in the regular season he doesn’t really control the game w his passes. If he got harassed on-ball it spelled trouble.
He’s been a true PG WITH a point center. Just leveling up all over the place – 11:38 PM

Bruce Brown was massive in 4th, taking advantage of Jamal Murray drawing so much attention and finishing with 21 points. Brown was relentless. Aaron Gordon was in attack mode earlier in game. Nuggets role players played integral part in putting Denver step away from championship – 11:29 PM

Also, know Jamal Murray didn’t shoot well in Game 4, but he just totally dictated the game on offense again with Jokic for Denver. 12 assists and no turnovers. That’s 42 assists vs. 11 TOs in the series, including two games with 1 or 0 TOs.
Denver wastes so few possessions – 11:27 PM

Game 3 may have been the best defensive game of Nikola Jokic’s career.
From his paint and rim defense, to out-smarting Bam Adebayo, Jokic’s fingerprints were all over the Nuggets’ stout defensive win.
“He’s an elite defender,” Jamal Murray said.

Teammate Jamal Murray has figures of 27.4 PPG, 5.7 RPG, and 6.8 APG.
They can become the first duo in NBA history to each average at least 25 PPG, 5 RPG, and 5 APG in a postseason. – 1:16 PM
