It was a tale of two halves. The Denver Nuggets almost choked away a 27-point lead in the second half of their 95-92 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night, but a pair of free throws from Jamal Murray were the last points to go on the board. It was fitting, those free throws eliminated the possibility of a loss in regular time, a loss the Nuggets might have taken if not for Murray’s performance.
The Blue Arrow exploded in a way we know he’s capable of but haven’t seen for some time.
