Jamal Murray is definitely what made Nuggets win this easily, because we are talking about someone who made Jokic 2 time MVP as well. How? Well simply enough, Jokic can't be a great Center if he had no help at all, he needs some help to be who he is, like we all know him as a great passer right? Who could he pass to if he had terrible teammates? His teammates missing all their shots would make him not be the MVP, but when there are other threats like Murray who plays like this, he ends up getting better looks as well.
Murray definitely played amazingly and I believe that he is going to end up being the Kobe to Jokics Shaq in the future. We are going to see people start talking about Murray like the star he is, but it may take some time because all eyes are on Jokic right now.

Nah, Jokic is just simply a great player for a center position, even without Murray on the team the opposing team will have a hard time containing Jokic, thus making his teammates create more open shot opportunities. But I won't discredit on what Murray have done to this team. He is a great player on his own craft as well. In fact I was quite amazed by how he was able to get a good 4th quarter and make a game winner in game 2 despite of the bad shooting night.
Nevertheless, I can say this game between the Lakers and the Nuggets are really close. Though it might be unnoticeably different when you see the series standings, but in each game they play, the game are always close even if the Lakers have always lead at the half and sometimes a solid double digit, but the Nuggets always managed to close that gap.
It's really kind of weird for the Lakers to be losing against the Nuggets 4-1 when they always have the lead at the half and not only that, they always have a solid double digit lead at some point of the game and then the Nuggets will erase that deficit in the 4th quarter easily.
I think they never got an issue with these since both of guys are really doing well. Lets not forget that its not all about them since they have perfect roster that works together on both ends. Lets also not forget that Porter contributes a lot in terms on points since he shoot so well and give a lot of numbers to give Nuggets a championship. Also with Gordon which also gives a lot of contribution since the guy can score if needed and can defend well. Plus also the other players which perform there roles so well. So its a total team effort for Nuggets that's why they became a champion and Jokic got a lot more better contribution that's why he got that MVP which he truly deserve that recognition.
Nuggets became more better when Murray is back on the rotation before and that's how they compliment together as a team also make Nuggets dangerous since they have a lot of guy that they can trust on offense and defense.
