In the last six games, Jamal Murray’s shooting just 38% from the field and 34% from the 3-point line. Ironically, though, it’s not the offense that has Nuggets coach Michael Malone’s eye.
Malone said the best version he’d ever seen of Murray was the one in the Bubble, where, despite Murray’s prolific scoring, he had too much pride to allow for a double-team on a player such as Kawhi Leonard.Murray wasn’t the primary defender on Jalen Brunson, who swerved through Denver’s defense for 24 points on Saturday afternoon. But there were a handful of chances where his defense, boosted by quality resistance, was sound on the burly guard.
“ watching, so maybe when he sees me playing defense, he knows I’m gonna be more into the game,” Murray said of one side of the game bleeding into the other.
