Nuggets Triumph with Murray’s Heroics
In Game 4 of the NBA Western Conference Semifinals, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 115-107, leveling the series at 2-2. Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon combined for 62 points, while Jamal Murray added 19 points to the scoreboard. Murray’s highlight came just before halftime when he sunk an incredible half-court three-pointer, lifting the team’s morale to its peak.
Murray’s Remarkable Shot
As the first half was winding down, the Timberwolves committed a turnover in their last possession. Jokic quickly found Michael Porter Jr. with a long pass, leading to a fast-break dunk. Then, with only 1.6 seconds remaining, another turnover by the Timberwolves on the baseline inbound allowed Murray to intercept the ball near midcourt. In a split second decision, Murray launched a half-court shot that found nothing but net, turning the arena into a frenzy.
Edwards and Murray Exchange Words
Following the game, cameras captured a heated exchange between Jamal Murray and Anthony Edwards, the young star of the Timberwolves. Edwards later revealed to reporters what was said during the exchange, stating, “I told that dude we love this sh*t, keep talking, that’s what we like.” He further added, “I just like him. He didn’t say nothing back, but I know he heard me. They all heard me.”
Series Tied at 2-2
The Timberwolves had initially taken a 2-0 lead in the series, but the defending champions Nuggets quickly rallied back with two consecutive wins to even the score. Edwards, who scored a career playoff-high 44 points in today’s game, expressed confidence, stating, “I don’t think there’s any momentum shifting their way. We both got 2 wins. It’s who can get the next 2 wins now. I’m happy. We’re competing at the highest level. I’m smiling because I’m happy. I’m ready to go. If we play tomorrow, I’m ready. It’s going to be fun.”
