“Jamal Murray’s Buzzer Beater Seals Nuggets’ Comeback Win Against Lakers in Game 2”
In a thrilling night of NBA playoff action, Jamal Murray stole the show with a jaw-dropping game-winning shot to lead the Denver Nuggets to a comeback victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2. Murray’s Tissot Buzzer Beater, a fadeaway jumper over Anthony Davis, sealed the Nuggets’ 104-101 triumph in dramatic fashion.
Murray’s heroics were on full display as he erupted for 14 points in the final 9:19 of the game, finishing with 20 points overall. His performance was complemented by Nikola Jokic’s monstrous triple-double of 27 points, 20 rebounds, and ten assists, as well as Michael Porter Jr.’s 22 points and nine rebounds.
Nuggets Coach Michael Malone praised Murray’s clutch gene, stating, “That’s Jamal Murray right there. He can struggle, he can struggle, he can struggle. He sees one go in and he’s never shying away from the moment, the spotlight.”
Jokic’s historic performance tied him with Wilt Chamberlain for the most games with 20+ points, 20+ rebounds, and 10+ assists in playoff history, achieving his fourth in just 70 career playoff games.
Despite strong efforts from Anthony Davis and LeBron James, the Lakers fell short against the Nuggets’ relentless attack. In another exciting matchup, the New York Knicks stunned the Philadelphia 76ers with a late rally, led by a trio of players who outshined Joel Embiid’s historic performance. The playoffs continue to deliver thrilling moments and unexpected outcomes as the competition heats up.
