For three quarters, Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets looked like the team so many thought they would be. Murray couldn’t throw water into a well and early on the San Antonio Spurs were well on their way to taking a 2-0 lead back to Texas, a dejected Nuggets team in tow.
Fortunately for Denver, in the fourth quarter Jamal Murray found his bearings. The Blue Arrow caught fire and lit up the Spurs for 21 points in the final frame, leading the Nuggets to a 114-105 come-from-behind win. Nikola Jokic and Gary Harris had outstanding performances to keep the Nuggets afloat, even when San Antonio had a 19 point margin in the second quarter.
