NBA Playoffs 2019: Denver Nuggets vs. San Antonio Spurs Game 3 live stream: Watch online
By Ian Levy
The Nuggets saved their season with a huge fourth-quarter comeback. Can Jamal Murray and company beat the Spurs again in Game 3?
After an embarrassing loss in Game 1 and sleepwalking through their way through much of Game 2, it looked like the Nuggets were on the verge of wasting a surprisingly successful season. Jamal Murray entered the fourth quarter 0-of-8 from the field. He then proceeded to score 21 points, leading an incredible comeback and saving his team from impending doom.
As the series shifts back to San Antonio, the Nuggets will need to figure out how to carry what worked in that fourth quarter through a full 48 minutes. Nikola Jokic, Garry Harris and Paul Millsap have played strong basketball in both games but they have to have Murray making jumpshots to be at their best. In addition, they’ll need more efficiency and offensive creation from Will Barton and the bench that served them so well during the regular season.
For the Spurs, this series has been a chance for Derrick White to introduce himself to a national audience. The second-year wing has played exceptional defense, scored efficiently and had some highlight dunks. Along with steady performances from DeMar DeRozan, Rudy Gay and LaMarcus Aldridge, he’s been the reason the Spurs have been able to push the Nuggets so far.
Below is everything you’ll need to watch Game 3.
