Many people stood out during the game, but there were a few struggles for the Nuggets.

Jamal Murray

Murray didn’t play bad, but he did struggle. He finished 2/11 shooting and was 0/3 from the three point line. He also struggled with retaining the ball as he had 5 turnovers as well. He did finish with a good all-around game with 6 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, but he struggled with his shooting and holding on to the ball.

Mateusz Ponitka

Ponitka did have 10 rebounds, but only shot one of four and didn’t utilize his minutes as much as he could have. He had three turnovers and wasn’t very effective on either side of the court.
