Jamal Murray scored 18 of his 24 points in the second half and the Denver Nuggets, playing with the same energy they displayed in the final two games of their first-round series against the Golden State Warriors, trounced the Minnesota Timberwolves 117-90 on Thursday night to take a 2-1 lead in their Western Conference semifinal series.

Nikola Jokić added 20 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists to help the Nuggets win their second straight game in Minneapolis.
