Jamal Murray shot and made 16 free throws.
The entire Minnesota Timberwolves team went to the line 19 times.
It was a discrepancy not lost on Minnesota coach Chris Finch.
He called Murray's 16 free throws “a head scratcher.” By going 16 of 16, Murray earned a spot in the Nuggets' record book.
It’s the most free throws without a miss in a playoff game in team history, breaking the mark of 14 by Bryant Stith at Utah on May 17, 1994.
It’s the most free throws Murray has attempted in a game in his NBA career.
