Here’s a recent NBA story via the Associated Press:
DENVER (AP) — Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets raced out to a 19-0 lead in the opening four minutes and tied a franchise record for 3-pointers with 24 in a 135-112 win over the Utah Jazz on Monday night.
It was the second time in 17 days that Utah went down before a shot or free throw. The New York Knicks outscored the Jazz 23-0 en route to a 146-112 win on December 5th.
The largest effort to open an NBA game was 29-0 by the Los Angeles Lakers against Sacramento on February 4, 1987.
Denver shot 68.2% in the first quarter and made 15 of 28 from 3-point range in the first half, five by Murray. He scored 27 points and Cameron Johnson went 6 of 6 from deep to finish with 20.
Nikola Jokic had 14 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists, and Peyton Watson scored 20 after missing two games.
Jokic had his 14th triple-double of the season and 178th of his career when he fed Watson for a layup with 7:10 left in the third quarter.
Lauri Markkanen had 27 points and Keyonte George had 20 points for Utah, which has lost three straight.
The Nuggets shot 7-of-9 to start the game, while Utah missed its first 10 field goal attempts and had two turnovers. A corner 3-pointer by Brice Sensabaugh with 7:06 left in the first made it 19-3, but Denver kept mounting and led 33-5 with 4:42 left in the period.
The Nuggets led 94-67 before a 13-2 run by the Jazz cut the deficit to 17 late in the third quarter. They trailed 105-88 early in the fourth when Tim Hardaway Jr., who finished with 21 points, hit three 3-pointers in 46 seconds.
