Jamal Murray had himself a fantastic first playoff game as the Nuggets and the Jazz went toe-to-toe, with Denver pulling out a 135-125 overtime win to take Game 1 of the series.
Murray led Denver with 36 points on 13/20 shooting, hitting six shots from behind the arc.
However, Donovan Mitchell, a former Cardinal, went berserk opposite Murray, dropping 57 points in his team’s loss. Mitchell broke the Jazz franchise record for points in a playoff game and put up the third most points in a playoff game, just behind Michael Jordan and Elgin Baylor.
