When Jamal Murray gets edgy, it usually means something’s gotten under his thick skin.
Late Wednesday night, after the Nuggets won their eighth game in a row, Murray didn’t even allow a reporter to finish his question before he interjected with his steely confidence.
Asked about the concern the Nuggets appeared to be in after Nikola Jokic headed to the bench with foul trouble midway through the third quarter, Murray dismissed the premise.
“Why?” he said. He didn’t want to hear the answer.
In Murray’s mind, it didn’t matter that the two-time MVP was glued to the bench for the final 6:41 of the third quarter.
