Jamal Murray was great in media tonight. Went for over 10 minutes. Made Vince Carter references, talked up Joker’s MVP, Aaron’s value to the team, and much more.
Said there’s a long way to go. – 1:13 AM

Jamal Murray says the experience of coming back from down 3-1 twice in the bubble is something that helps the Nuggets down 2-0. “We can do it and we’ve done it… the experience definitely helps being in this situation.” – 1:08 AM

Michael Malone called his team out the last few days, including pregame tonight. They’ve responded with a champion-worthy performance in Game 3. But, going forward: Jamal Murray (calf), who’s been great tonight, got three days off. Next three games: only a day off between each. – 11:33 PM

Jamal Murray avoided suspension and is playing tonight. That has people upset.
Front office source: “At this point, who’s happy? The referees and the referees’ union should be pissed, and so should the players and the Players’ Association.”

Very good start for Jamal Murray. 8 on 4-6 and some tough shots that he usually hits in the playoffs.
Nuggets provided more defensive resistance in that quarter. Jokic doesn’t seem interested in defending the paint, so Wolves will probably have to drive more – 10:13 PM

MPJ also has 8 points. – 10:13 PM
