Ryan Blackburn: Jamal Murray on Russell Westbrook: “I don’t assume it was simply that three although. He makes a whole lot of successful performs, stuff that doesn’t present up within the stat sheet. I don’t simply watch the pictures that he makes. He was 5-of-17 and it doesn’t matter to me.”

NEW: The Nuggets are up 1-0 largely due to Russell Westbrook’s hustle.
That was a wild recreation, and the Nuggets earned it with protection, clutch shotmaking, and extra.
Attempting one thing new for the playoffs. GAME NOTES right here. GAME STORY later.

The madness of that ending is a pleasant reminder of why Russell Westbrook works for the Nuggets however didn’t for the Lakers.
On a minimal wage, the nice performs outweigh the unhealthy. When he’s making the max, you possibly can’t survive the unhealthy since you’re stretched too skinny elsewhere. – 6:39 PM

I don’t know who’s successful this recreation, however the Nuggets are usually not successful this sequence if Nic Batum is outscoring Michael Porter Jr. Denver’s gotten one good quarter out of Jamal Murray. The supporting forged offensively must be higher. – 6:02 PM

Proper now there are only a variety of points for Denver……The Nuggets aren’t defending. They aren’t taking pictures properly. They aren’t taking good care of the ball. They aren’t getting Jokic in advantageous spots. Jamal Murray has been muted. I’m working out of characters – 4:35 PM
