"It’s over for me," Murray said, per Harrison Wind of DNVR. "It’s a new year. We’ve got to do it again. That year was great. It was a great summer, but ring night is Game 1, so we have to move on. Game 1 is Tuesday. Ring night is great. Banner night, it’s amazing. But we’ve got to win a game at the end of the day."
On there being any potential added motivation facing the Los Angeles Lakers in this game, Murray said, "No. That’s all for you guys. I just go play basketball and have fun."
