What highlights did Jamal Murray achieve in his recent game?
Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily for December 4th, 2025. I'm Dave DeFore here with Zena Keita. Coming up, we got a Murray flurry for the Denver Nuggets. They picked up a win against the Pacers. We're going to talk about that a little bit. The Mavs look pretty good. We're going to talk about their rookies. And we've got Eric Name here to talk about the latest on Giannis and the Bucs.
How are the Mavericks' rookies performing this season?
And man, it's getting sad. Good morning, everybody. What's up, Zena? What up, Dave? How are you? Not too bad. All right. At some point, guys, I promise you, we're going to get good games on the nights that are not NBA Cup. As soon as this Cup thing gets all sorted out, we're going to have some normal nights with some actual real matchups with some meat on them. You know, last night, like, Zena, another weird night, and maybe we're just too, like, in the weeds every single night, but... From a matchup perspective, not a lot happening, right? Like no great games, no real like narrative storylines outside of the Clippers and all the crazy stuff, which they did win and we'll talk about for like two seconds because they're bad and it's not that interesting.
But yeah, like everything's weird right now.
Yeah, things are very weird.
What is the latest news on Giannis and the Bucks?
On the Clippers front, though, let's be real. Yes, Chris Paul left. That does not necessarily mean because they won right after his departure that he was the source of all things bad. If we remember correctly, the Denver Nuggets won the day after Mike Malone was fired. And if we remember even more recently, Chauncey Billups was arrested and the Portland Trailblazers won the very next night. So let's not put too much clout into that.
Let's just remind everybody that Chauncey Billups was arrested in case you guys forgot. All right. Hey, look, let's talk some hoops. The Nuggets, they had a get right game last night against the Pacers, right? Pacers having a sad season. This is a game that the Nuggets not just had to win. They were going to win. especially after the embarrassing loss that they had the other night.
Why are the Bucks struggling this season?
Jamal Murray, it's not even a flurry when he puts up 52. That's a blizzard. Jamal Murray was 10 of 11 from three, 52 points, still had six rebounds. He has had a great start to the season, Zena. We'll talk about Jokic, who did not have a triple-double, didn't need it. What Jamal Murray has done to start the season is exactly what we said needed to happen for this team. And we didn't realize they were going to be down two starters at this point of the season, right? Him scoring 52, right? This needs to be something that he just has in his back pocket when they need it. When Jokic looks tired like he did in that loss the other night. They need Jamal Murray. And so far this season, he has looked like an all-star that he needs to be.
And frankly, they are not as good as they are right now unless he's having the season that he has.
1,000%. And I'm really happy you brought up what Jamal Murray needs to be in comparison or in tie with Nikola Jokic. Because I think...
What are the implications of Giannis's frustration with the team?
Last night after the game, Rick Carlisle called Jamal Murray one of the most underrated players in the league. And when you think about why is why is someone like Jamal Murray, someone that helped usher a championship to Denver, someone that is putting up the numbers that we've seen? I mean, in all of NBA history, there's only been one more guard that has had as many games with 50 plus points with as good as shooting from the floor as Jamal Murray has had. That is Michael Jordan. Okay. Why someone like that getting the underrated label? And I really think it does go back to the 2023 finals when they, excuse me, even the playoff run, when multiple games throughout multiple series, you saw Jamal Murray score under 20,
20 points score under 15 points. And it was like, it felt as if Jokic had to do so much more to make up for Jamal Murray's kind of hesitance on the offensive end or inability to create. But there's a, I think a lot of folks are still anchored to that idea of that Jamal Murray and forgetting that this is a guy that put up 50 points in a playoff series that put up 40 points in playoff series that can absolutely create.
