Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray didn't address his late-game exchange with Anthony Edwards, but the Timberwolves star said he 'loved it.'
Covered the Lakers and NBA for ESPNLosAngeles.com from 2009-14, the Cavaliers from 2014-18 for ESPN.com and the NBA for NBA.com from 2005-09.-- finishing a disastrous homestand during which the Wolves handed back the two-game Western Conference semifinals lead they had built on the defending champs --near the sideline, he clapped his hands, nodded his head and kept his gaze fixed on the Nuggets point guard while he delivered a message.
The rest of his team combined to shoot 40.4% overall, 30% from 3 and 57.9% on free throws. The Wolves now head back to Denver with the series tied 2-2.Murray, who scored 13 of his 19 points from the final two seconds of the first half through the first four and a half minutes of the third quarter -- including a buzzer-beating 3 from 55 feet out to end the second quarter -- did not comment on the exchange with Edwards.
"He's a superstar," Edwards said of Towns."He gets paid to put the ball in the rim. I always tell him, 'Don't you ever stop shooting the ball because you missed five or six. I don't give a damn. In order for us to win, we need you to score.' I'm just happy he was aggressive the entire night. That's a win for us tonight. Him being aggressive throughout after having an off night, I guess.
"We just got to stay connected in this locker room," Towns said."Even through good, bad, we always are together and we always lean into the brotherhood that we have built here. ... But it's a test now.
