After suffering a serious injury last season, many doubted that Murray could show the level he showed during the infamous Orlando bubble.
He heard all the noise and kept the receipts, unleashing the beast this postseason, making it clear he’s not the same as before; he’s even better.
The Nuggets are rejoicing with this version of Murray, who is yet to become an All-Star but is playing like a superstar in the playoffs.
Now, the team is 3-0 up against the Lakers, set to sweep them in Game 4 at Crypto.com Arena.
Murray is ready for the challenge and he won’t hesitate until the job is done.
Right after securing this win, the point guard said the Nuggets need to win five more games, which is their magic number to win the NBA championship.
After a season where so many people doubted them, Denver is going strong and on the verge of taking out the Lakers in a big fashion.
