Jamal Murray was struggling in his NBA playoff debut. Through the first three games of the series against the San Antonio Spurs, the Blue Arrow was shooting just 39.1% from the field and 28.6% from the three-point line. He had as many turnovers as assists and, outside of a red-hot 4th quarter in game two, he was getting outplayed by his counterpart, Derrick White. As a team, the Nuggets were in a 2-1 hole and facing a must-win game four on the road with absolutely no momentum and a young team that was on the brink of losing hold of the proverbial rope.
