Murray & Watson Lead the Charge as Nuggets Survive Grizzlies’ Late Rally, 125–115
The defending champions punched back with championship composure.
Jamal Murray delivered a clutch 29 points and eight assists, while Peyton Watson erupted for 14 of his 27 points in the third quarter, helping the Denver Nuggets withstand a strong late push from the Memphis Grizzlies to secure a 125–115 victory.
Nikola Jokić, in MVP form as always, notched his 10th triple-double of the season with 17 points, 16 assists, and 10 rebounds — another effortless masterpiece from the Serbian superstar.
Memphis fought hard behind Jock Landale’s career night (26 points, 10 rebounds), Jaylen Wells’ 22 points, and Cam Spencer’s 18, but Denver’s firepower proved too much. With the Nuggets splashing 22-of-43 from deep (51%), every Grizzlies run was met with a bigger response.

The Grizzlies, dealing with multiple injuries including Ja Morant and Zach Edey, still managed to keep it competitive. But Murray’s back-to-back daggers and Tim Hardaway Jr.’s crucial bucket with 2:23 left sealed the finish.
Denver moves to 3–1 in their last four games, reminding the league they are still a threat — even shorthanded.
