Jamal Murray’s made some pretty bad passes here that Nikola Jokic wasn’t paying attention and ready for.
Denver’s shooting well, but the turnovers (11) are starting to rack up. Joker had a bad one as well. – 10:32 PM

Jamal Murray looked pretty good in his 1st half back from injury: 11 points, 5 assists, 1 turnovers. He was moving pretty well. Just his presence on the floor clears so many things up for Denver. – 10:15 PM

Alright, pretty solid start for both teams offensively. The Hawks are getting downhill in the pick and roll with a spread floor and Capela in the middle.
Jamal Murray looks solid athletically. Not spectacular, but he’s digging down defensively and moving well out there. – 9:20 PM

Alright Nuggets fans, it’s time for Game 78 of the season against the Atlanta Hawks.
Jamal Murray back. If Denver wins, the 1 seed dream remains alive.

Jamal Murray’s returning to the Nuggets’ lineup after missing the last seven games. Murray didn’t look 100% to me during his pregame warmup — looked like his back was bothering him too — but he’s playing tonight. – 8:37 PM
