SALT LAKE CITY — Jamal Murray contorted his face into a demonstrative expression worthy of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream.”
He was dribbling the ball past mid-court. The Nuggets were hunting fast-break points in Utah, and Murray needed to get a message across to Peyton Watson. The young forward was in the far corner, spaced next to Michael Porter Jr. on the right wing.
“I was trying to tell him to cut,” Murray told The Denver Post.
How to communicate this? With his mouth agape, as if in dismay; his eyes practically popping out of his head; his right eyebrow ever so slightly raised.
