Jamal Murray scored 34 points, hitting six of Denver’s 16 3-pointers, and the Nuggets sprinted<\/a> past the Phoenix Suns 125-107 on Saturday night in Game 1 of their second-round series.<\/p>\n

Reigning back-to-back NBA MVP Nikola Jokic had 24 points and 19 rebounds, while Aaron Gordon finished with 23 points for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference<\/a>. But this was the Murray Show, where he went 6 of 10 from 3-point land and frequently exhorted for more noise from the already raucous crowd.<\/p>\n

Kevin Durant<\/a> scored 29 points for the Suns, with Devin Booker adding 27 and Chris Paul 11. Booker averaged 37.2 points in a first-round series win over the Los Angeles Clippers.<\/p>\n

Game 2 is Monday night in Denver.<\/p>\n

This is a different sort of playoff series than two years ago, when the Suns swept the Nuggets in the second round. Back then, Denver was without Murray after he tore his ACL.<\/p>\n

Now healthy, Murray is flashing his 2020 form inside the NBA bubble that helped Denver advance to the Western Conference finals.<\/p>\n

Murray had the play of the night when he stole a pass, split defenders Paul and Durant at top speed and knocked in a layup high off the glass. It brought the capacity crowd to its feet.<\/p>\n

The dynamic point guard was far from done energizing the fans, hitting a 3-pointer with just under 7 minutes remaining. He implored them for more noise, even holding a hand to his ear.<\/p>\n

LEBRON JAMES DOESN’T SHAKE HANDS WITH GRIZZLIES AFTER ELIMINATING THEM FROM PLAYOFFS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Leading 106-95 with 7:40 remaining, the Nuggets went on a 14-0 run to put away the game. Denver led by as much as 25 and improved to 38-7 at home through the regular season and playoffs.<\/p>\n

The difference was the 3-point line, where the Nuggets outscored the Suns by a 48-21 margin.<\/p>\n

To stop Durant, the Nuggets used a multitude of defenders. He went 12 of 19 from the floor, but 1 of 3 on 3-pointers. Durant has 4,730 playoff points to move closer to passing Karl Malone (4,761) seventh place on the NBA\u2019s postseason points leaderboard.<\/p>\n

TIP-INS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Suns: Suns coach Monty Williams<\/a> used his challenge early \u2014 with 55.4 seconds left in the first quarter \u2014 when Booker was called for a charge on a made a basket. It paid off as the call was overturned and Booker awarded a free throw, which he made. … Deandre Ayton scored 14 points.<\/p>\n

Nuggets: Nuggets coach Michael Malone called a timeout 32 seconds into the second half to settle his team down. … Bruce Brown had 14 points.<\/p>\n

PAUL PRAISE<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Paul approaches his 38th birthday next week, Malone said the one thing that hasn’t changed over the years is Paul’s elite competitiveness.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019ll be 55 years old, playing in a rec league back in North Carolina, and he\u2019s going to be the same guy,” Malone said. “The guy hates to lose, ultra-competitive and one of the greatest leaders I\u2019ve ever been around. … No matter what stage of his career, he still finds a way to impact winning at a high level.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
