Jokic, Murray lead Nuggets’ 108-90 romp of Spurs
DENVER — After a sputtering start to their post-season, the Denver Nuggets are starting to look like the team that ended a six-year playoff drought in such dramatic fashion.
Nikola Jokic has a lot to do with it.
Jokic had 16 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists and fed Jamal Murray (23 points) repeatedly in Denver’s 108-90 romp of the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night.
“Their chemistry is almost romantic,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. “They care about each other, they love each other. They play for each other. That’s when we’re at our best.”
