Shooting at Denver Nuggets star Patrick Beverley
Only 17 points were scored by Nuggets standout Jamal Murray in this contest, and none of those points came when Patrick Beverley was defending him. Beverley defended Murray on 18 possessions, limiting him to 0 points and 2 turnovers, according to the NBA’s matchup stats.
Regarding the secret to stopping Murray, Beverley responded, “There isn’t one. I have been imprisoning him for years.”
Beverley took a jab at Murray by claiming that he has been locking up the Nuggets star for a long time. Beverley has seen Murray a lot throughout the regular season and postseason because he has spent a large portion of his career in the Western Conference. According to Beverley, he has been winning that contest for years.
Since the 2018โ19 season, the NBA has began collecting data on individual matchups. According to their statistics, Beverley has held Murray to 44.4% from the field in those matches. Although it’s not a terrible efficiency, Murray’s lifetime average from the field is barely met by that.
Beverley, who is never hesitant to criticize his opponents, stated that he thinks he has been locking Murray up for years, including this game
