On the 30th, the Nuggets relied on only 1 free throw to score 43 points and 8 three-pointers, and defeated the Clippers 131-115, and the NBA playoffs first-round series took a 3-2 lead and got the match point, which made Clippers head coach Tyronn Lu sigh.
Murray
Murray shot 17-of-26 today, including 8 three-pointers, scoring a team-high 43 points, with 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals, and he also wrote the sixth game of his career playoffs to score more than 40 points, surpassing the MVP center "Jokic" Jokic, setting a new record in team history.
Clippers head coach Tyronn Rue admitted after the game that Murray started the day with great aggression and the team was prepared, "so we started the game with him and tried to slow him down." We've tried packing, retreating, switching defenses, all sorts of defensive strategies, but he's really too incomprehensible, three-pointer, mid-range. ”
The Clippers' defensive strategy against Jokic today was quite successful, although he still had a triple-double, but only scored 13 points on 4-of-13 shooting in the game, but holding Jokic still couldn't stop Murray from entering fairy mode, "It's really uncomfortable that we limit Jokic to only 13 points or lose." But that's the terrible thing about the Nuggets, if you care about him too much, others will punish you, and Murray is too godly today. ”
'When he's aggressive, it's like a very different team. Westbrook, who scored 21 points from the bench today, said, "When he has that momentum and that confidence to play on the court, it's really hard to beat. ”
Jokic said after the game that it was great for the team to win without his scoring support, and admitted that today was not his day, "I can't do anything, but it's okay, I'm going to do everything I can to win the game, and I think everybody has to accept that, and if you don't feel good today, then try to win the game." ”
