Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell had the third-highest scoring performance in NBA playoff history Monday, dropping 57 points against the Nuggets. Luckily for Denver, Jamal Murray and his 36 points — including 10 in overtime — led the Nuggets to a 135-125 win in their series opener. With Murray’s big game, he just landed just on the Nuggets’ top 10 in most points in an NBA playoff game.
