Jamal Murray has been a notoriously gradual starter his whole profession. Lest we neglect, he missed 16 straight subject targets as a rookie earlier than turning the tide and making the All-Rookie Second Group.
And he is been a gradual starter almost yearly since his rookie marketing campaign, this season included. Via the primary two months, the Canadian guard shot a mediocre 32.6 p.c from three, and his struggles had been mirrored within the Nuggets’ poor begin.
Like clockwork, Murray has regained his rhythm in December. Via 5 video games this month, he is averaging 19.4 factors on 45/43/93 taking pictures splits to go together with 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals. In the course of the Nuggets’ 130-129 win over the Kings on Monday, Murray led his workforce with 28 factors, together with two clutch pictures within the closing minute. The Nuggets trailed by 10 within the closing 4 minutes till Murray helped them storm again with a 14-3 spurt to shut out the Kings.
