It is believed that people from Colorado have a different taste when it comes to tap water quality. Murray seemed disgusted as he took a sip from the bottle. Most players rely on energy drinks or sports drinks like Gatorade, Bodyarmour, and others. Murray, on the other hand, who needed just water at the time, unknowingly challenged his tastebuds.

A report from the USA News ranked states according to the best tap water quality. Kentucky was ranked 6th out of all, whereas California was at number nine.

However, his reaction caught the attention of a lot of fans on the internet. As the Nuggets look to end the series in Game 4, Murray will make sure that he opts for an energy drink instead of just water.
