Jokic hit a shot from the corner with 1:53 left to put Denver up 84-81. Murray made a jumper with 1:24 left, drove for a dunk and an 88-83 lead with 35 seconds remaining, and wrapped up the victory with two free throws with 5.1 seconds left.

„If you’re a good team, you don’t go on extended losing streaks. That’s the reality of the NBA,“ said Denver coach Michael Malone. „If you’re going to be a good team, you respond. … So we got back to defending and play with great energy and sharing the ball.“

Sixteen of Jokic’s 20 points came in the second half.

„I was just more aggressive,“ he said. „I just wanted to make them react to me, and that takes a lot of pressure off other players.“
