Denver barely beat the outsider and one of the worst NBA teams Utah, Jokic did not shoot a single three-pointer, Murray played a simultaneous match, and the Nuggets started the game with two centers in the starting five, sum total 128:125!
Jamal Murray deserved this text to start with him because tonight he scored from impossible situations, dribbled, assisted, and in the end had a performance to remember – 45 points (19-13 shooting, 13-8 for three), plus 8 assists and three rebounds!
When he saw how Murray took off, Nikola Jokic stepped back into the background a bit, but the performance was certainly extraordinary: 22 points, with 12 rebounds and 5 “zicer” passes in his style.
In the winning team, it is also worth mentioning Valanciunas, who managed well in the starting lineup, scored 13, had 6 rebounds, while the young Strawther added 15.
Among the hosts, George stood out with 36, Filipowski gave 19 (8as, 6rb), and Bayley 18.
After this victory, Denver still occupies 5th place in the conference with 38 wins and 24 losses, and in the next game, they host LeBron, Doncic, and the Lakers in the Western derby, which will also be a fight for the aforementioned 5th position.
