Murray Scores 53 in Nuggets Win Over Mavs as Celtics Cool Thunder

Late-season surges are reshaping playoff seeding across both conferences.

Overview

  • Denver beat Dallas 142-135 behind Jamal Murray’s 53 points, and Nikola Jokic added a triple-double with the go-ahead jumper in the final seconds.
  • Boston topped Oklahoma City 119-109 as Jaylen Brown scored 31, a result that snapped the Thunder’s 12-game win streak.
  • The Lakers won 137-130 at Indiana behind 43 points from Luka Doncic in a high-scoring road game.
  • New York extended its streak to seven with a 121-116 win over New Orleans, as Jalen Brunson’s 32 kept the Knicks pressing Boston near the top of the East.
  • Coverage differs on Jokic’s triple-double count for the season, with some outlets calling it his 29th and others his 30th, and one report noting continued questions about his games-played total for MVP eligibility.
