Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:45:00 GMT

First Jamal Murray begged for the ball, and then he begged for the crowd to roar.On Murray’s sixth and final 3-pointer of Saturday’s Game 1 rout over the Suns, Denver’s fiery point guard pleaded for Bruce Brown to feed him as he trailed the play in transition.With both arms extended, Murray implored Brown to pass it to him so he could hammer the final nail in the Suns’ chances in Game 1. After Murray connected and the Suns called a timeout to stop the onslaught, he headed to midcourt where more than 18,000 fans waited to serenade him.“We waited for this,” Murray shouted and then repeated.Murray’s 34-point night was the third time he’s scored at least that many in Denver’s first six games of the postseason. After dispatching the Suns 125-107 in Game 1, the Nuggets improved to 5-1 in the playoffs overall.His zeal and passion are the primary reasons the Nuggets have looked and played like a No. 1 seed thus far. Two-time MVP Nikola Jokic remarked in the postgame locker room how Murray h...

SF Giants, Padres play home run derby in Mexico City: ‘Never seen anything like that’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:45:00 GMT

MEXICO CITY — Even a home run trot can be tiring a mile and a half above sea level, and there were plenty of test cases Saturday in the Giants’ 16-11 loss to the Padres. But perhaps none more visceral than Brandon Crawford, who did it twice in the span of two pitches.“Even though it was just a slow jog around the bases, it’s still a little tiring at this altitude,” Crawford said. “But I didn’t mind.”It was that kind of night for the Giants and Padres, who combined to leave the yard 11 times in the first regular-season MLB game in the Mexican capital. The homers traveled a total of 4,858 feet — a career-long and game-high 482 feet on Crawford’s third-inning blast — still well short of Mexico City’s 7,350-foot elevation.Crawford was called back to home plate after rounding the bases for his first time, after his curving line drive down the right field line was initially ruled a home run but was determined to be foul upon replay review. Only mo...
