Denver Nuggets PG Jamal Murray drained three 3-pointers in Sunday's rather stunning loss to the winless Los Angeles Lakers, and while this shouldn't be too shocking since it used to happen regularly, it was the first time he did so this young season.
Murray has looked a bit rusty so far, and understandably so, but he scored a season-high 21 points on a season-best 21 field goal attempts Sunday. Remember, Murray missed all of last season recovering from an ACL tear. He averaged 21.2 PPG, 4.8 APG and 2.7 3-pointers during the 2020-21 campaign. Are we all just assuming we get that again? Hmmm.
