Jamal Murray Says 1 Nuggets Star Is Always ‘Ready For The Moment’


 

The Denver Nuggets scored another huge win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night, and, once again, Aaron Gordon was a vital part of it.

He scored a crucial game-tying three-pointer with less than 30 seconds, which led to overtime and, eventually, an incredible win for his team.

Following the game, Jamal Murray praised Gordon and talked about how he’s always “ready.”

“I told [Aaron Gordon] he’s like 7-for-7 with under three seconds in a game. Just being ready for the moment. He’s just always ready. Obviously, [he] puts in the work in to get there. AG’s always ready for the moment,” Murray said, via NBA on X.

Gordon definitely has been “ready” throughout these playoffs, and this is the third time that he has scored such a basket, which either led to a win or tied the game.

He might not look like it, but Gordon has become a clutch shooter, and the Nuggets are relying on him more and more for that specialty.

Gordon has been shining brightly during the postseason, which is exactly what the Nuggets need.

They were counted out just weeks ago when they fired head coach Michael Malone right before the start of the playoffs.

But they are now close to taking down the top team in the Western Conference.

Several players in the lineup have done great work for Denver, but Gordon has been one of the most consistent.

When his team has needed him most, he has not shied away from stepping up and producing monster moments that have assured victory.

He is ready for this moment, but he will need to stay ready if the Nuggets wish to get beyond the Thunder and go all the way to the Finals.
