Jamal Murray Makes Promise Before Nuggets-Thunder Game 6

Jamal Murray makes promise before Game 6

Jamal Murray poured in 28 points, the most he's scored in a game in this series, but he wasn't efficient in doing so, shooting 10-for-27 and 3-for-13 from deep.

However, Murray isn't lacking confidence, as he delivered a promise after their Game 5 loss.

"We're going to go play the game in Denver, and then we get to come back," said Murray.

Not much has been going right for the Nuggets in this series, but still have managed to pull out two wins.

It also hasn't helped that Michael Porter Jr., arguably the team's best shooter, is dealing with a shoulder injury. 

After averaging 18.2 points per game in the regular season, Porter Jr. has now gone back-to-back games with the same horrendous shooting numbers.

In each of the last two games, he's finished exactly 1-for-7 from the field and 0-5 from three. 

Without Porter Jr.'s shooting threat, to at least keep the defense honest, the Thunder have been able to take full advantage. But if it's a game like in Game 3, when Porter Jr. scored 21 points on 7-of-10 shooting, that could be all they need to force a Game 7.
