Jamal Murray hurt his elbow when he crashed into a Rudy Gobert screen and shot only 4-for-18, ending with 10 points in a 115-70 blowout to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center.  With a two-day break before Game 7, Murray is uncertain if his elbow will feel better by then.  “I hope, for our team’s sake,” Murray said. “I hope I can get it right.” He missed nine of his first 10 shots. Jamal was asked if the elbow loosened up and felt better as the match progressed. “Clearly it did not,” Murray said with a laugh. “I put some numbing cream on it just so I didn’t have to feel it every time it extended. But everybody gets hurt. “So it was the fact that I was shooting the ball. That’s what I do most. So I was never really getting into my rhythm again. And my team obviously needed me tonight, and I didn’t. So I’m disappointed in myself for not being able to give them the right production that I know I can.” Murray has been wounded this postseason, He is already nursing a strain in his left calf that he suffered in the first round against the Los Angeles Lakers.  Denver needs Murray to be in top shape for Game 7. He averages 19.7 points on 50% shooting, including 42% on 3-pointers, in the Nuggets three wins this series. In the three defeats, Murray is averaging 11.6 points and 26% shooting. “We got two days off,” He said. “I just got to get ready and be able to be better for Sunday. Yeah, [it’s got] to be better for Sunday, man.”
