Despite battling an ear infection that's lingered since Saturday, Jamal Murray “showed up and performed like he always does,” coach Michael Malone said. Story from Msinger
Having already scored 31 points on 12-of-20 shooting in Tuesday’s Game 1 win over the Lakers, Murray had one more obligation to fulfill: his postgame media.“I got an ear infection on Saturday,” Murray said. “You know how ear infections are. They hurt a lot.”
“I sometimes marvel at the kid,” Malone said, lauding his toughness and explaining that as soon as the ball tipped, Murray blocked out whatever impediments the earache was causing.Jokic, whose 34-point, 21-rebound, 14-assist triple-double helped the Nuggets avoid a second-half collapse, wasn’t convinced.Jokic, of course, was kidding. There was nothing silly about the way Murray dissected Los Angeles’ backcourt.
