Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Much like the Warriors in their prime, Murray’s teammates quickly started feeding him the ball. Nikola Jokic, who only finished the night with 10 points, still managed to rack up a triple-double, proving yet again that he’s the consummate team player. His selflessness was on full display, guiding the Nuggets to victory while letting Murray shine.
