Murry registered 21 points to lead the Nuggets to victory.
LOS ANGELES: Jamal Murray led a dramatic late fightback as the Denver Nuggets scored a series-levelling 114-105 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday in their Western Conference playoff duel.
Nuggets head coach Mike Malone said he had never doubted Murray’s ability to deliver despite scoring only three points in the opening three quarters. Benching Murray for the final period was never an option, Malone added. Murray’s late burst of scoring proved the difference on a night when four other Denver players finished with double figures.
Malone said the turning point had come during a third quarter timeout with the Nuggets trailing by 16 points. “But I said it’s only going to happen though if we believe, we commit and we fight, and we attack. And the guys took it to heart. It’s a hell of a win.”Elsewhere Tuesday, Kawhi Leonard scored 37 points and Pascal Siakam delivered a double-double as the Toronto Raptors defeated the Orlando Magic 111-82 to level their Eastern Conference series.
Leonard was the architect for the Raptors’ potent offence, making 15 of 22 field goals on his way to 37 points, four rebounds and four assists before a raucous home crowd at the Scotiabank Arena. The series now heads back to game three in Orlando on Friday.
