Having a short-term memory is an essential quality in any good shooter. Steve Kerr, the NBA’s all-time leader in 3-point percentage, used to scribble the letters “FI” on his sneakers, shorthand for “f*** it.” “If you’re self-conscious as a shooter, you’re doomed,” Kerr explained in Chris Ballard’s excellent book “The Art of a Beautiful Game.” With 1:23 to go in…...

Jamal Murray delivered the dagger with 1:46 to play. As the shot clock was winding down, the Nuggets’ 22-year-old point guard took two dribbles to his left, stepped sideways to create space, got Steven Adams to bite on a pump fake and flicked in a 3. The shot stretched Denver’s lead to double digits and capped what Nuggets coach Michael…...

Jamal Murray is shooting a hair under 38 percent from three this season and last week against the Thunder and Jazz, Murray shot a combined 8-15 from beyond the arc. On the season, Murray is shooting 40 percent from distance on wide-open three-point field goals, the same percentage Klay Thompson is hitting on shots of that same variety. But in…...

A spirited 21-6 run to open the fourth quarter captained by backup point guard Monte Morris had the Nuggets leading the Bucks by four points with 5:36 remaining in regulation after a Trey Lyles lay-in. Thanks to stellar play from its bench, Denver was in position to add a victory over Most Valuable Player candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo and the now 10-3 Bucks…...

All Gary Harris could do when asked about the Nuggets’ defensive progress was shake his head and laugh. Denver’s starting shooting guard needed a moment to find the right words to describe the transformation his team has made....

You don’t have to be Red Auerbach’s niece or Don Nelson’s nephew to know what it looks when an NBA player is “feeling it.” You’ve seen the signs before: When a player hits a couple shots in a row and goes to a place where his rhythm can’t be disrupted. When he pulls the trigger with zero hesitation, capitalizing on…...

It was impossible not to notice DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell, dreadlocks flowing off his powerful 6-foot-5 frame, as he raced downcourt at Summer League. The undrafted 25-year-old who played last season in Denmark entered the Las Vegas showcase as a relatively unknown commodity. Nuggets executives spoke highly of the 6-foot-5 wing in the lead-up to Summer League but he was still a…...

It’s been just over two years since Isaiah Thomas warned general managers and owners around the league that they “better bring out the Brinks truck” if they wanted to secure his services once he hit the free agent market. It was a bold proclamation at the time from the ever-confident Thomas, but one that came with merit. Thomas was coming…

The Denver Nuggets were trying to put the game away Friday in Washington. With 1:20 remaining, they clung to a five-point lead. Wizards sixth man Kelly Oubre Jr. tried to cut into the deficit by uncorking a three-pointer from the right corner, but Will Barton was able to get a piece of it. Torrey Craig, who was under the basket…...
