Jamal Murray’s return to the court had a big impact on the Denver Nuggets as they secured a dominant victory over the Atlanta Hawks. With Murray back after missing seven games due to a knee injury, the Nuggets looked stronger than ever.
Murray contributed 16 points and six assists in just 21 minutes of play, helping his team secure a 142-110 win. Nikola Jokić also had a stellar performance, recording his 25th triple-double of the season.
Murray’s presence on the court not only boosted the team’s performance but also allowed other players, like Reggie Jackson, to return to their natural roles within the lineup.
Despite some players being sidelined due to injuries, the Nuggets’ bench stepped up, scoring 58 points in total. With this win, the Nuggets now sit in first place in the Western Conference, setting the stage for an important matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Although Murray’s minutes will be limited as he works his way back to full strength, his return is a positive sign for the Nuggets as they aim for success in the playoffs.
