Watching dutifully from the sidelines, Murray’s career-night served as both a momentary distraction from the grind of his rehab and an inspirational flashpoint. “Oh, it was crazy,” Barton said. “I’m…
Unfortunate that it was in a loss, but Jokic beasted on the offensive end Nikola Jokic is a bit of an enigma. He prefers to pass – as he has said before, scoring makes one person happy while passing makes two people happy – but when he wants to he can absolutely fill the basket…
The Jazz were on the second night of a back-to-back, and it showed when Denver’s defense suffocated them. The Denver Nuggets defeated the Utah Jazz 103-88 on Saturday night.
