GAME STORY: Jamal Murray’s 23-point fourth quarter stakes Nuggets to 2-0 series lead over Lakers
Already on a torrid run of devastating daggers, Murray hoisted one more in LeBron James’ face, burying a 30-foot 3-pointer to whip Ball Arena into a chaotic frenzy Thursday night. Murray’s scintillating 23-point fourth quarter built the Nuggets a double-digit lead, and it took everything they had not to squander it amid egregious turnovers.
“It’s so rewarding,” Malone said of his relationship with Murray and all that he’d endured while rehabbing his torn ACL. Everything was a slow, tedious slog for the Nuggets to start the third quarter. Their defense didn’t engage, and for a moment, it looked like a replay of the third quarter in Game 1. The Lakers had successfully stymied Denver’s attack with their length and built an 11-point lead midway through the third as James did his damage in transition.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever been in a series up 1-0, and the series is over in everybody’s eyes because they put Rui on Nikola Jokic for six possessions,” Malone said before the game.
