Denver Nuggets star point guard Jamal Murray’s latest offensive show on Wednesday came after a right ankle sprain left him questionable for the game against the Indiana Pacers.

It didn’t slow Murray down at all with a season-high 52 points in a 135–120 win over the Pacers (4–18) and a franchise-best eighth consecutive road win for the Nuggets (15–6). Denver head coach David Adelman said it was “one of the most efficient 50-point games of all time” when he talked with reporters afterward.
