Just when it looked like the Denver Nuggets might drop another game at home to the San Antonio Spurs and fall behind the series 0-2, Jamal Murray came to the rescue and singlehandedly led his team to a huge comeback victory to even things up.
Murray had 21 fourth-quarter points and was a nearly perfect 8-for-9 from the floor as the Nuggets, who trailed by as many as 19 points in the second half, ran away with a 114-105 win.
Murray had just three points in the first three quarters and fans were wondering if he was ever going to get things going.

It was the biggest fourth-quarter performance in the NBA playoffs since 2014:
Murray said after:
It’s nice to have someone care about you.
Now this series is tied and it has all the makings of being a great one.
Thanks to Murray’s fourth quarter, of course.
