Jamal Murray allow his emotions take charge.

Would you blame him?

The peak of this ferocious five-game Nuggets winning series remaining on Friday night when a Gary Harris steal resulted in some Nikola Jokic quick break, and then a crisp socket move to Murray behind the arc.

Denver’s point guard didn’t wait. He cried the 3-pointer, down the Pepsi Center court, and let out an audible roar toward his boisterous bench.

“The audience, the fans are crying, the bench is upward. I’m the one making the shooter. I must have the right to yell? ” Murray said, and smirked, in the aftermath of a 109-100 victory against Minnesota. “That’s a part of my sport, and I’m better when I show love and my enthusiasm for the sport. ”

Nowan ultimate test to determine whether consecutive wins over the Blazers, Thunder, Knicks, Magic and Timberwolves have supplied the Nuggets (19-8) with real momentum. A December rematch with the high profile Lakers (24-5) awaits on Sunday night.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis won Round 1 at Denver: 105-96.

The Nuggets ride a tide of optimism into Round 2 on the road.

“It’s important as you wish to feel as if you’re playing with excellent basketball moving into the team from the Western Conference,” trainer Michael Malone explained. &ldquoWe and they played really well at home but in their location, it’s definitely going to be a helluva challenge for us. ”

Denver’s mojo has been flipped entering his Dec. 3 meeting with LA.. The Nuggets had just suffered a overtime defeat in the Kings, 100-97, and it took over to commence a slump of five losses in six matches. Reserve center Mason Plumlee identified what held Denver back against Lakers.

“The glass and rebounding the ball,” Plumlee said. “They’re large, they’re physical, and they’re any team in the league where they may sometimes have LeBron, Dwight (Howard) and AD on the ground at precisely the exact same moment. You’match the physicality and ve got to opt for a struggle. ”

Added Murray: “They’re a team that is fast but so are we. When we played them (before) we weren’t making shots and now we are. That carries over. We got to control the paint. It’s ’s going to be very hard with all those bigs down there, however, when we encounter with the perfect effort, I think we could do anything we will need to get a win. ”

As of late Friday, the Lakers ranked second in the NBA in win percentage (.82), first in field goal percentage (.48), first in blocks (7.1) and sixth in assists (26.2). But LA now lacks momentum. The Lakers endured their first losses of this season, in the Pacers and Bucks, now entering Sunday’s matchup against the suddenly surging Nuggets.

Denver has won five consecutive home games for the first time. On Friday, Jokic recorded his fifth triple-double of this year. And the Nuggets rank second in the league to get team defensive evaluation (103.1).

In Terms of Murray? He plans to maintain roaring down the court in Los Angeles.

“(The Lakers) have been in first place for a reason,” Malone explained. “But I think our men are more than ready for that challenge. ”
