The Denver Nuggets suffered just their second loss in 13 games since the All-Star break on Sunday, as the Dallas Mavericks star guard Kyrie Irving nailed an improbable buzzer-beater.
Jamal Murray expressed admiration for Irving’s shot while reflecting on the team’s performance. Despite the loss, Murray emphasized the Nuggets’ resilience and fighting spirit, highlighting their ability to compete even after a subpar performance for much of the game.
“You look at the wins, bro,” Jamal Murray told Bennett Durando of the Denver Post. “We’ve been winning, and two losses, trying to find a common denominator, like, bro hit a left-handed floater from the top of the key going away from the basket.
“It’s an amazing shot. And we played terrible up until the last couple minutes, so we’re fighting and we were just happy to be in that position, the way we played throughout the game.”
