This is a preseason game, maybe the approach is different, and by looking at the highlight of this play, no one in Denver uniform would like to take the two, they want to end this game with a game-winner, hopefully, this doesn't happen in the regular season as it's so dumb to trust the 3 than a high percentage shot.
Believe it or not, that was an actual game last season. In the post fight interview, coach Malone even said he didn't what happened

When I look back at that play, Murray could have pushed the ball, drive to the lane and maybe get a foul for a three-point play instead of stopping on a 2 on 1 break. If that was Kobe on the ball, he would have dunked that.
