The Denver Nuggets offense slogged through the first 11 games of the season. There were a variety of factors that held the unit back, from sluggishness, to a slow start from superstar Nikola Jokic, to a higher frequency of midrange shots.
On Sunday evening against the Memphis Grizzlies, Nuggets star point guard Jamal Murray decreed to the world that Denver would no longer struggle offensively.
Murray finished the game with 39 points on 14-of-24 from the field, including an outstanding 7-of-12 mark on three-pointers. The point guard added a pristine ratio of eight assists to zero turnovers, four rebounds, three steals, and one block in just three quarter, playing 31 minutes and looking like a legitimate star out there.
