The NBA bubble is the first of a seven-game playoff series. Yamal Murray scored 50 points with an impressive hitting percentage, and the Denver Nuggets 119: 107 (30:36, 31:20, 27:23, 31:28) managed the Utah Jazz, which was also fantastically attacked from a distance by Donovan Mitchell.
Man of the match
After six games in this Western Conference quarterfinal series, the score between the teams is equal to 3-3.
For the winners, Murray scored 50 points by hitting 8 shots of two of 12, 9 triples of 12 and 7 free throws of 9. The defender also bounced 5 balls and gave 6 assists.
The 23-year-old Canadian reached the 50-point mark for the second time in this series. His six games are averaging 34 points, and his last three games have 47.3 points (63 percent trit.).
Murray became the first NBA basketball player since Allen Iverson appeared in 2001, having managed to score at least 40 points in three straight playoff games.
Murray’s Point 50:
The Utah team was not spared by the impressive performance of Mitchello, who scored 44 points in 40 minutes and hit 9 points out of three out of 13, as well as 7 penalties and 5 points out of two out of 12.
Mitchell has also hit the 50-point mark twice in this series before, posting a score of 38.7 points in 6 games.
In the NBA playoffs, only two basketball players have scored 50 points each, and both compete in the series and have scored twice.
Mitchell’s emotions after the game:
If the Denver club were to win the deciding game, it would become the twelfth in NBA history, winning the series despite being 1-3 behind.
The last time such a result was recorded was in the 2016 NBA Finals series, in which the Cleveland Cavaliers emerged from such a difficult situation.

“The team believes in me, I believe in the team, and we are trying to become the twelfth team to win despite being 1-3 behind,” Murray said after the victory.
“From the fan’s point of view, I respect that we are going to play the deciding match, but as a player I can’t say I want to play Game 7 after leading 3-1,” Mitchell said. “I don’t think anyone wants that, but we are here and we have to do what we have to do.”
The winner of this pair will play the Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference semifinals.
Jazz: Donovan Mitchell 44 (9/13 trit.), Mike Conley 21 (4/6 trit., 6 res.), Jordan Clarkson and Rudy Gobert (11 sec.) After 11, Georges Niangas 10.
Nuggets: Yamal Murray 50 (8/12 double, 9/12 trit., 7/9 penalty), Nikola Jokičius 22 (9 res.), Jerami Grant 18 (4/7 trit.), Monte Morris 10.
