It's not Murray who steals a show in the last game. It's a Nikola Jokic who scored 30 points with 14 rebounds and four assists in a game. Denver Nuggets becomes only the 12th team in NBA history to come back from a 3-1 deficit in any series. This series registered many records in the NBA.
This game was a low scoring game, Denver won a game 80-70 and now they will face heavy favourite to win this season's NBA title. Donovan Mitchell makes another record in this series by hitting 33 3-pointers in a playoff series. Stephen Curry has this record of making 32 3-pointers in any playoff series. Jamal Murray tied with curry with 32 three-pointers in a series.
Donovan Mitchell was on the floor after a heartbreaking loss to Denver Nuggets but Jamal Murray was there to help him with a handshake and a hug. It was great respect from both players who played this series at their highest level.
Unforgettable duel.
