Denver Nuggets' star guard Jamal Murray hit a new career milestone in Wednesday night's loss to the New York Knicks.
Nikola Jokic's historic first half and triple-double couldn’t save the Nuggets as the Bulls' hot shooting sealed a 129-121 win.
Reminiscing about the Knicks’ visit to Denver two months ago, Michael Malone gave a slightly embarrassed chuckle.

Anthony Edwards scored 34 points with nine assists to lead Minnesota. In the process, he became Minnesota's franchise leader in 3-pointers made, jumping past Karl-Anthony Towns with 976 career triples. Edwards also set the mark with some flash, nailing this 3 from the center-court logo:
