Jamal Murray scored 38 points in Denver’s 110-100 loss to Houston on Monday, but the Nuggets guard made clear that individual numbers are secondary to winning.
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray expressed frustration following a 110-100 defeat to the Houston Rockets on Monday, stating that winning matters more than his individual 38-point performance. Murray shot 14-of-23 from the field, including five three-pointers, marking his fourth game with at least 34 points this season, though the loss dropped Denver to a 5-4 record.
Murray pointed to poor rebounding and slow starts as major issues, noting that Houston dominated the boards 51-39. The Rockets secured the victory behind Kevin Durant's 23 points and 12 rebounds, along with Alperen Sengun's 20 points and 12 rebounds, which ended Houston's two-game losing streak.
