Three-letter chants have been commonplace at Ball Arena this season, only this one sounded different.“M-P-J” boomed throughout the lower bowl in the fourth quarter of Wednesday night’s tense Game 2 playoff game in homage to Denver’s supremely talented sniper. Michael Porter Jr. dashed Minnesota’s hopes with an enthralling 13-point fourth quarter as the Nuggets survived, 122-113.Though Porter came alive in the fourth, Game 2 was Jamal Murray’s show. Without his stunning 40-point night, the Nuggets don’t head to Minnesota for Friday’s Game 3 up 2-0. Murray carved up the T-Wolves’ backcourt with six 3-point daggers and even more devastating dribble penetration as he went 13 of 22 from the field.“The kid is a warrior,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said, joking they’d need to carry Murray onto the plane to Minnesota after playing 39 minutes.If Game 1 was a reminder of Murray’s playoff credentials, Game 2 was a time capsule to his scoring eruptions in the Bubble.By...

The bond they felt, however, was immediate and they’ve been together ever since.The couple had dreams of becoming parents, but with Marlisse’s terminal diagnosis, the couple is now focused on enjoying the time they have left together to see the world and make memories.“Marlisse and I are devastated that we won’t become parents, especially since she was able to freeze her eggs prior to her diagnosis,” said Brock. “But time is no longer on our side. She wants to be well enough to care for our baby and be around to raise our child. But this is not in the cards for us. So we’ve decided to channel all of our energy into spending the time we have left focused on joy!”Two years ago, Ma...
