BBNBA: Jamal Murray outduels Russell Westbrook for a W
In a high scoring affair between the Denver Nuggets and the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Nuggets were letting it fly from behind the three point line, attempting a huge total of 37 threes. The hot shooting from Denver developed a large lead through 3 quarters, but the Thunder battled back to tie the game with 1.4 seconds left in the 4th quarter on a Paul George contested 3. The Nuggets got the last laugh though, as a broken inbounds play led to a wide open Gary Harris three to win at the buzzer.
Murray was huge in the final quarter, finishing with 33 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds, while hitting 5 of 8 threes on the night.
