A 20-6 fourth-quarter outburst following the foul call enables Denver to blow past L.A. and take a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals.
No, the flop by itself didn’t decide anything, and maybe it was just a coincidence that the Nuggets went on their run immediately afterward. More significantly, Murray’s jump shot returned from vacation down the stretch. He made three of his first 15 from the field Thursday night but eight of his last nine, six of them during that decisive fourth quarter. The first of his four 3-pointers put Denver ahead to stay 84-83 with 9:18 left, the last for a 99-87 edge with 4:55 left.
And maybe that’s an indication of what made the Nuggets the top seed in the West, and what has made them such a tough out and especially tough at home. “We get a couple of stops, K hit a big three and they called timeout. So yeah, sometimes it’s just a couple possessions that change the whole game and it’s just an energy thing. I thought we had a lot of belief in our ability to rally tonight and get the ‘W’.”
