Jamal Murray articulated last night’s fourth-quarter collapse vs. New York better than anyone.
“We got a little discombobulated,” he said.
Unless they want a repeat performance in Dallas, Denver’s going to have to manage without their two-time MVP.

Asked Jamal Murray about how much not having Jokić and Gordon may have affected Denver’s offense down the stretch.
He said of course they would have helped, but that Denver had enough guys to win tonight.
He was most frustrated about his missed shots. – 12:54 AM

Knicks get two massive stops on Jamal Murray inside the final minute: one from Jericho Sims, who comes off the bench for a possession, gets switched onto Murray and deters a shot. And then one at the buzzer from Quickley, who did not relent one-on-one and forced an airball. – 12:28 AM

Jericho Sims on Jamal Murray is the new Kevin Love on Steph Curry, obviously. – 12:25 AM

Jamal Murray looks to be playing at half speed and the Knicks defenders seem to have no chance at stopping him.
Incredible footwork and creating just enough space to finish. He’s leading Denver with 12 points in the first half. – 10:43 PM

More on this storyline
Led by Julius Randle’s best game of the season, and the defense standing tall with the game on the line, the Knicks rallied from 10 down in the fourth quarter to knock off the Nikola Jokic-less Nuggets, 106-103, on Wednesday night at a stunned Ball Arena for the franchise’s first win in Denver in 16 years. Randle’s free throw with 50.6 seconds left gave the Knicks the lead for good, and Immanuel Quickley played lock-down defense on Jamal Murray in the final seconds to preserve the win. “It’s us sticking together, staying together and believing,” said Randle, who like several other Knicks, played despite being under the weather. -via New York Post / November 17, 2022
TJ McBride: Had a quick chat with Jamal Murray after the Nuggets win tonight and he told me that his comfort level has grown. He is getting back up to speed and feels closer to in rhythm thanks to an assist from Michael Malone. I’ll have words on our talk up tomorrow on @denverstiffs. -via Twitter @TJMcBrideNBA / November 6, 2022
Michael Singer: Nikola Jokic, tongue firmly in cheek, on Jamal Murray: “He did a good job today. He didn’t suck.” -via Twitter @msinger / October 23, 2022
