There is no need to tell how important this game is, but just for the record, NBA teams historically win 84% of playoff series after a 3-2 lead!

Murray goes into Playoff-beast-mode, scoring 43/5/7/3...wouldn't mind seeing that type of outburst 10-12 more times or so..

Nuggets are now true favorites to win this series, especially if we learned a lesson from the 2024 playoff, where we underestimated the Wolves after a 3-2 and wasted a 20-point lead in game-7 at home, thinking already about the Conference final.

Very unusual high-points game with Jokic and Harden scoring under 15p (at least Joker had TD), but "Playoff Murray" stole the show and scored 43p (factor-X: Westbrook with 21p and Braun's 12 rebounds) while the whole Nuggets team was superb in threes (17-33, over 50%!).
