LOS ANGELES — If given the chance, Jamal Murray said he'd do it differently the second time around. With 8:20 left in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 121-110 loss to the Lakers, the Nuggets called a timeout, trailing 104-95, and tried to stem Los Angeles' momentum. At that point, Murray had played 25:57, which amounted to his original minute restriction when the Nuggets opened the season less than two weeks ago at Utah. He's since topped out at 28 minutes, twice, but wary of overextending Murray amid his still-nascent comeback from ACL surgery, Nuggets coach Michael Malone got skittish.
