Jamal Murray also had a pretty good game as he scored 18 points, hauled in eight rebounds, dished out four assists, and even had three steals on the defensive end of the floor. It wasn’t the most efficient night shooting the ball for Murray as he was just 6-of-15 from the field, but he made his mark in other ways and was a big reason why Denver pulled out the come from behind victory.
Aaron Gordon also had a fantastic game as he almost messed around and got a triple-double finishing with 18 points, 16 rebounds, and six assists. Gordon was a monster on both ends of the floor and continues to put together a really impressive season as the Nuggets fourth option in the starting five.
The Nuggets record now sits at 8-3, which is good for fourth place in the Western Conference and just one game back of first place. To watch all the highlights from last night’s game, click the link below!
