One more win and the Denver Nuggets will head to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history.
Over the weekend, Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and company took care of business in their Game 3 Western Conference Finals matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, winning 119-108 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. While superstars Jokic and Murray have done the heavy lifting, Denver has gotten strong contributions out of Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Bruce Brown as the Nuggets try to bring the Larry O’Brien Trophy to Colorado for the first time. Even with all the success, Murray still feels that the Nuggets don’t get the respect from the media and fans that they deserve. “Even when we win, they talk about the other team. It just fuels us a little more, and it’ll be sweeter when we win the chip.” Five more wins for Denver this postseason, and that will be something Murray never has to worry about again. Game 4 tips off Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Which brings us to today’s quiz of the day. As of this writing, 25 players are averaging 20 or more PPG in the 2023 NBA postseason. So with that in mind, how many of the leading scorers from the 2023 NBA playoffs can you name in five minutes?
Good luck!
