Murray must have thought this was an Olympics game because he was just as terrible tonight as he was against France in 2024. McDaniels defense on Jamal was suffocating, to say the least and he ended tonight with 11 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. It didn’t help he fouled Shannon Jr. on a drive that turned into an “and-1” which put the Wolves up 6 with less than 2 minutes ago.
If Jamal had a normal game instead of a trainwreck, Denver would likely be headed home for Game 7. As of now, they’re headed home with a lot of questions about the Nuggets future that they need to answer.
