Jamal Murray is known for performing exceptionally well in high-pressure situations during the playoffs. However, in the recent game against the Phoenix Suns, Murray couldn't seem to sink a basket, finishing 0-for-9 from 3-point range. Although he is clearly critical of himself and his performance, Murray has not lost his passion for basketball, nor is he too concerned about this one missed opportunity. He joked that he tried to pretend that he was sinking those same attempts during practice, even if that was not the case. Murray has always been diligent in his training, as evidenced by his consistent practice on difficult, almost impossible shots, including those behind the backboard.

Murray's perseverance has paid off during this postseason, in which his professional skills have been on full display. Against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he achieved an impressive five-game series sweep. In the current second-round series against the Phoenix Suns, Murray scored 34 points in Game 1, enough to give the Nuggets a 1-0 lead in the Western Conference second-round series. Although Murray's recent performance was not at its best, it is not surprising that he may still make an even stronger comeback in future games.
