Before last Sunday’s game at the Brooklyn Nets, Nuggets forward Paul Millsap passed along some simple advice to Jamal Murray.
“The more you press, the worse it gets,” the veteran told his second-year teammate.
“Overthinking” was at the root of Murray’s early-season shooting slump, the Denver point guard says today. Yet Murray has snapped out in a major way, averaging 23.3 points over his past three games to help key the Nuggets’ offensive resurgence.
“He’s not backing down, and I see his confidence growing in the last four or five games,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said.
