Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray says they are not worried about the Lakers and it should be the other way around.
Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets are on fire! They have been playing wonderful team basketball. Denver has a young core team and is full of stamina. Trailing 3-1 in round 1 against Utah, they struggled to win again 4-3. Low and lo and behold, they meet the Clippers in round 2.
One of the favorites to go all the way, the Clippers were up 3-1 in the series. The Nuggets were playing their fourth bubble elimination game when they met in Game 5. They showed composure and outplayed the Clippers. Nikola Jokic led them to a Game 6 win over the Clippers to tie the series.
Game 7 and we were all expecting some tough competition. Jamal Murray led all the scorers with a great performance. He scored 40 points, had 4 rebounds and 5 assists in his big win in Game 7.
