Jamal Murray took the blame for the loss to the Golden State Warriors and was intent on making sure the team didn’t lose again. The Canadian proved profound in his declaration as his mid-range clutch time shot was the game-winner.
Charlotte could just as easily have stolen this game but the victory moved the Nuggets to 5-0 in games decided by two points.
In the win, eight different Nuggets scored nine or more points with Murray leading the way with (18 points). Nikola Jokic delivered a double-double of 14 points and 11 rebounds.
Will Barton (16), Monte Morris (15), Gary Harris (14), Paul Millsap (11) and Jerami Grant (11) were the other double-figure scorers.
On the season the team leaders are Gary Harris for steals (1.3), Jerami Grant for blocks (0.8) with the remaining categories led by Nikola Jokic including points (20.7), assists (6.8), rebounds (10.2), and, field goal percentage (53.2%).
Noah Vonleh missed his fourth straight game due to an ankle sprain and is questionable to play on this trip. Bol Bol (foot) remains out indefinitely.
Cleveland Cavaliers
In a highly competitive match with both squads missing core players, the Cavaliers gave the Celtics all they could handle eventually succumbing to the Bean Town crew.
Cleveland had to roll without the services of Andre Drummond, Darius Garland, and Tristan Thompson then lost rookie Kevin Porter Jr. to a head injury in the first half.
Sophomore Collin Sexton led the way via a career-high 41 points. Cleveland’s healthy big men both registered double-doubles with Kevin Love offering 26 points and 14 rebounds and Larry Nance Jr. registered 19 points and 15 rebounds.
The trio was key to runs in the second half which nudged them ahead but ultimately, Jayson Tatum and his crew proved to be too much to overcome.
Team leaders are Collin Sexton for scoring (20.5) and steals (1.0), Darius Garland for assists (3.9) and Tristan Thompson leads three stat categories including rebounds (10.2), field goal percentage (51.5%) and blocks (0.9).
Andre Drummond (strained calf) and Darius Garland (groin) both missed the last two contests. Likewise, Tristan Thompson missed his third game due to a bruised knee. All three are listed as questionable for Saturday.
The head injury Porter Jr. sustained will send him into the concussion protocol program. Dante Exum (ankle) has missed five games while Alfonzo McKinnie (plantar fasciitis -foot.) has missed the last eight games. All three are out indefinitely.
Dylan Windler (shin) is gone for the season.
