Jamal Murray scores 31 points to help lift Nuggets past Raptors 121-115
DENVER (AP) --- Jamal Murray scored 31 points, Nikola Jokic made a go-ahead
jumper with 45 seconds left and the Denver Nuggets held on for a 121-115
victory over the Toronto Raptors on Friday night.
Jokic finished with 22 points and nine rebounds, Tim Hardaway Jr. had 23 points
and shot 7 of 10 from 3-point range and Aaron Gordon added 16 points for the
Nuggets, who improved to 8-8 since the All-Star break.
Jakob Poeltl scored 23 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the Raptors, who had
a three-game winning streak snapped. Brandon Ingram added 19 points and R.J.
Barrett had 18.
The Nuggets trailed 101-98 before Hardaway tied it with a 3-pointer with 7:27
remaining. Denver was up 115-110 with 1:43 left, but the Raptors got right back
into it.
Scottie Barnes, who finished with 15 points, had a layup with 1:32 remaining.
Poeltl three-point play on a layup and free throw after he was fouled by Jokic
tied it at 115 with 60 seconds left.
But the Nuggets closed with a 6-0 run to seal the victory. Jokic had a
turnaround jumper, Murray made three free throws and Gordon made one of his own
to cap it.
