Jamal Murray scored 16 of his 18 points Sunday night in the fourth quarter to help deliver a 105-91 win over the Jazz at Pepsi Center. Denver trailed just once in the game, 2-0, and six players finished in double figures for head coach Michael Malone.
Will Barton returned to the lineup for the first time in nine games, scoring seven points including a 3-pointer to open the scoring for Denver. Jusuf Nurkic had a double-double, his third of the year, with 16 points and 11 rebounds.
Murray had the hot hand down the stretch, showing signs of the prolific scoring threat the Nuggets drafted him to be. He was 6-of-8 from the field and 3-of-4 from 3-point range.
Denver concludes its four-game home stand on Tuesday against Chicago.
