Jamal Murray Drops 55 as Nuggets Extinguish Blazers

On Monday night when the Portland Trail Blazers played the Denver Nuggets, Nikola Jokic scored 40 points and Denver hammered the Blazers mercilessly. Portland came into their game against the Nuggets on Wednesday night determined to avoid a repeat. They did, sort of. Jokic didn’t score 40. Jamal Murray did, producing a career-high 55 on 20-36 shooting. The Nuggets hammered the Blazers just as hard too, walking off the court with a 132-121 win.
