Murray was a monster in the series, though he was not at his best on Tuesday. He scored 17 points on 7/21 shooting. That came after he had three straight games of at least 40 points.

After being ripped for allowing Murray to score 50 points in Game 6, the Jazz made some adjustments on him. But it wasn’t enough, as Nikola Jokic scored the winning basket to send Denver to the second round.
