Back at home on the Front Range, Jamal Murray and two-time MVP Nikola Jokic authored a basketball clinic of a third quarter and propelled Denver to a crucial 118-102 Game 5 victory over Phoenix to claim a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference semifinals.
Jamal Murray watched the shot drop, heard the whistle and let Landry Shamet know about it.
Murray’s engine throttled into full gear and the Nuggets roared to life right along with him. Footprint Center, this is not. They have their two best players to thank for it, though almost everybody took a turn in the Ball Arena limelight as they wrestled control of the series back from the Suns. Jokic finished with his 10th career postseason triple double, tallying 29 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists. Murray had all but two of his 19 points in the second half and Bruce Brown Michael Porter Jr. provided scoring punch and energy.
