"I told my teammates when I was struggling, 'I'm gonna look for y'all. I'm gonna look for y'all.' And every single one of them told me to 'keep shooting, keep shooting. Be aggressive. Keep shooting.' Even when I was throwing up that bullshit floater."

PLEASE DON'T TELL ME LEBRON JAMES HAD A WIDE-OPEN UNGUARDED THREE TO WIN IT … AND MISSED IT … AND JAMAL MURRAY HAD A FALLAWAY CONTESTED BY ANTHONY DAVIS AT THE BUZZER … AND MADE IT!

Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray have completely ruined my love for basketball.

Murray deserves most credit. but shouts to Jokic who, even while DOMINATING on every post up he wanted, whenever he wanted, kept forcing the ball back into Murray's hands the whole final 6+ mins. He needed Jamal back in rhythm. That belief is contagious, demanded him to get going

Per @StatsWilliams:
There are three instances in the NBA playoffs since 2000 of a player hitting a game-winning buzzer beater to complete a comeback of 20 or more points:
– Jamal Murray tonight
– Luka Doncic in 2020 vs Clippers
– Robert Horry in 2002 vs Kings— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) April 23, 2024

Great shot by Jamal Murray, and a win is a win, but if I’m Denver, I treat this like a loss. Lakers really figured something out putting Hachimura on Jokic. That’s one of those somewhat small adjustments that can win a series.

Putting LeBron on Murray and switching the Murray/Jokic PnR was one of the coverages Darvin Ham was apparently holding in reserve. Jamal Murray scored 6 points in 3 possessions against that coverage to win the game.

You had a challenge for the Murray soft contact call with 0:58 left. That one’s on you. https://t.co/bubKCHJZSe

I’m lucky enough to listen in to the Nuggets huddles. All game long teammates and coaches were getting in Jamal Murray’s ear, picking him up. DeAndre Jordan, Michael Porter Jr, Coach Malone to name a few I specifically saw. The way this team believes in each other is so special.
