On this day
Feb. 8, 2024 — Jamal Murray had his usual big game against the Lakers with 29 points and 11 assists, while Michael Porter Jr. chipped in 27 points and Nikola Jokic was one assist shy of a triple-double in a 114-106 road win
Final word
Nuggets coach David Adelman deserves more credit. In his first full season as coach, Adelman has the Nuggets sitting in third place in the ultra-competitive Western Conference while dealing with major injuries to all of his stars except Murray. He needs to be in the Coach of the Year conversation.
