Jamal Murray: Paces bench with 16 points Friday

The 2016 first-rounder didn’t hesitate to uncork plenty of shots over his time on the court, which yielded a better scoring total but worse shooting percentage than what he managed in the opener on Monday. Murray managed a 60 percent success rate from the field against the Raptors in the first preseason game, but with his minutes nearly doubling Friday, he upped his involvement considerably. The rookie is expected to see a decent allotment of minutes off the bench to start the season while Gary Harris (groin) remains sidelined.
