The LA Clippers snapped their losing streak vs. the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night, spoiling the return of Jamal Murray behind all-around performances from their top talent. James Harden was especially solid in this game, finishing with 20 points and 11 assists on just 10 field goal attempts. 

When asked about Harden after the game, Murray said, "I would like him to shoot more, honestly. He can shoot it... He does a good job playing at his own pace and getting other guys involved."

Former Clippers star Lou Williams saw these comments, and shared an interesting reaction to what Murray had to say about Harden's need to shoot more.

"If the Clippers beat me, and James Harden takes 10 shots, and [Jamal Murray] goes out after the game and says, 'I would like for him to shoot more.' Sounds like sabotage to me. I don't think he's genuinely concerned with what the Clippers are doing and who is taking what shots at what points of the game. This sounds like Jamal Murray wants this to be beneficial to the Denver Nuggets."

Danny Green had a different perspective, saying Murray is probably used to seeing Harden shoot much more than he did in this game, and would like to see it simply as a fan of the game. That said, the Clippers will take wins however they need to get them, even if that's with Harden taking just 10 shots.
