Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr. and Nikola Jokic haven’t gotten to play together at the same time for the playoffs since the NBA bubble in 2020.
DENVER — Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic has his bandmates back together. They’re making up for lost time, too.
It seems so long ago, with Murray missing the last two versions of the playoffs as he recovered from a torn left ACL and Porter sitting out last season’s postseason due to a balky back.They flashed that Tuesday by doing a little bit of everything. There was Murray, coming up big at crunch time on his way to 35 points. And Jokic, the reigning back-to-back NBA MVP who did his usual thing with 28 points, 17 boards and 12 assists.
“I just knew they had a bunch of great players,” said Brown, who wore a cowboy hat as he walked out of the locker room after a game in which the Nuggets went 32 of 36 from the free throw line. “I’m very impressed .” This could be the start of something good. Despite Denver being the top seed — and Phoenix being No. 4 — the Nuggets feel overlooked.
