Curry averaged “only” 24.7 points in that six-game series. During the 2019 Western Conference quarterfinals against the eighth-seeded LA Clippers, Curry shot 50 percent from the field, 50 percent from 3 (48 attempts), and 97.3 percent from the free-throw line. Murray has done it once before, in the 2020 bubble against Donovan Mitchell and the Utah Jazz, and he joins Kevin Durant as the only player to do it more than once:Ĭurry has only achieved a 50-40-90 once in 28 postseason series.
JAMAL MURRAY JERSEY SERIES
Murray’s 50-40-90 against the Lakers was only the 11th time that it was done in a playoff series while averaging at least 30 points per game (minimum five 3-point attempts in a series), and only the third time in a round after the quarterfinals.
We want to go all the way and stay locked in… We’ve got four more wins to go.”
“We just want to make the most of the opportunity,” Murray said after the Nuggets eliminated the Lakers Monday night. It is rare to put up a 50-40-90 (50 percent from the field, 40 percent from 3, 90 percent from the free-throw line) with that level of scoring volume. He led all scorers in the series by averaging 32.5 points while shooting 52.7 percent from the field, 40.5 percent from 3 (on 37 3-point attempts) and made 19-of-20 free throws (95 percent). Murray responded with two thumbs up, as if to announce he would be a problem for the entire series.īy the end of the Nuggets’ four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers, the first sweep in the team’s franchise history and the first time the team had ever won the Western Conference in five tries since merging from the ABA in 1976, Murray completed one of the most efficient series in league history. James turned to Murray and gave him a thumbs up.
