Earlier, the world-famous Finals ushered in the G4 showdown, and the Nuggets won again on the road, defeating the Heat 108-95, and the series aggregate score was changed to 3-1, and the hope of winning the championship was greatly increased. The Nuggets' point guard Jamal Murray was credited to winning this game, just one shot, and Curry's great playoff record will be broken by him.
In this game, Murray, as a key figure for the Nuggets, was closely defended by opponents, playing 42 minutes, shooting only 5 of 17, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and only 15 points and 12 assists. Fortunately, his backup Bruce Brown stepped up in time to score a career-high 21 points to make up for Murray's offensive slump. Although the offensive feel is not good, it does not prevent Murray from positively impacting the game in other ways. He sent 12 assists and 0 turnovers on the playmaking end, successfully tandem the team and get his teammates involved in the attack. After this game, Murray's historical status was further improved, and he was the first in history with the popular star Curry.
Murray hit 2 of his 3-point range from the three-point line, bringing his three-point field goal count to 57 in this year's playoffs. As a result, Murray equaled Curry's record for three-point field goals in this year's playoffs, and the two tied for the number of three-pointers in the playoffs that season. In other words, if Murray makes another three-pointer in a G5 game, he will surpass Curry as the player with the most three-pointers in this year's playoffs, ranking first in the league. It is worth mentioning that Murray is unable to break the single-year playoff three-point shooting count this year, and the NBA record for total three-point shooting in a single year playoffs is held by Curry and Klay, who have hit 98 three-pointers in a single playoff.
Not only that, Murray may be crowned in this year's playoffs, officially declaring himself the top five point guard in the league. In the past four Finals games, Murray has had at least 10 assists in each game, 12 and 10 assists in 3 games. As a result, Murray became the first player in NBA history to record a double-double in assists in the first four Finals games of his career, and superstars such as Paul, Stockton, James, and Johnson had never done before. Interestingly, Murray only had 6 assists double-doubles during the regular season, and only one assist-double before the Finals, and with the arrival of the Finals, Murray's timely adjustment brought huge changes to the Nuggets, and more teammates participated in the offense, and every game was born with a surprise soldier, making the opponent defenseless.
So far in the Finals, Murray has averaged 23.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 10.5 assists, and 2.8 turnovers per game, shooting 46.1 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from three-point range. I believe that after helping the Nuggets win the first championship in team history, Murray's value has also risen and his status has been further improved!
