Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray suggested that a lack of focus, possibly due to players staying in Los Angeles after a win against the Lakers, contributed to their 145-118 loss to the New York Knicks. Murray later clarified that the entire team stayed in LA. Coach Mike Malone expressed frustration, refusing to dismiss the loss, emphasizing the team's lack of effort and physicality. The Knicks' offense was unstoppable, with OG Anunoby scoring a career-high 40 points and Jalen Brunson adding 23 points and 17 assists. The Nuggets' home record fell to 5-4.
LeBron James appears to respond to the Denver Nuggets and head coach Mike Malone's jabs at him and the Los Angeles Lakers in an Instagram post. The Nuggets have been talking about the Lakers and James, who they swept in the Western Conference Finals, during their championship celebrations. James seems to be annoyed by the comments and takes a playful jab at Malone in his post. However, the Nuggets have earned the right to talk as much as they want after winning the championship, and James knows that only beating them on the court will change that.
