As Jamal Murray crossed into the middle of the floor in transition early in the fourth quarter of the Denver Nuggets' Game 1 win over the Heat -- during a rare fast-break opportunity against a Miami defense that makes you earn every basket -- he spotted Michael Porter Jr. flaring open near the left corner.
Murray slung a one-handed pass that hit Porter in stride. It was the kind of moment a 6-foot-10 sharpshooter dreams about. The Nuggets had scored four points in a row to go back up 88-74 after the Heat had opened the quarter with an 11-0 run to trim Denver's lead to 10.
