Watch Jamal Murray hit game-winning fadeaway to cap a 20-point comeback, put Nuggets up 2-0 on Lakers
That is a gut-punch loss for Los Angeles.

“I think everybody in here knows I’m pretty capable of making shots, correct?” Jamal Murray said.
He waited for the media to nod in agreement before continuing his response to @DannyMataJr’s question about how he’s able to turn it up late. – 1:44 AM

The Lakers gave the Nuggets as good of a shot as they’ve had against Denver over the last 16 months.
But Jamal Murray had the best one of the night, hitting a game-winner at the buzzer to stun the Lakers and giving the Nuggets a 2-0 lead in the series:

The irony of it all: Jamal Murray couldn’t make a shot. But the little things matter. The Lakers guarded him early in the fourth with Gabe Vincent, and the fact that Murray could shoot over his 6 foot counterpart allowed him to find the basket. And he cooked down the stretch – 12:41 AM

1. Anthony Davis was the best player on the floor
2. The Nuggets took another 23 three-pointers that half

Jamal Murray needs to give that ball up to Nikola Jokic. That’s another bad decision, and it led to a LeBron James And-1 in transition because he didn’t get back.

A second straight strong start for the Lakers here, as they go up 15-9 into the first time out, punctuated by a beautifully quick pass from LeBron to AD in transition for a dunk.

More on this storyline
“If it wasn’t for my teammates, I might not even get to that shot,” Murray said postgame on TNT. “I did what I could today, I tried to pick it up on defense. … It was a great team win. We all stuck together.” -via The Athletic / April 23, 2024
A Lakers source told ESPN that James’ foul on Murray with 58 seconds left, which rewarded the Nuggets guard two free throws that put Denver up 99-97, could also be considered “marginal contact.” “It makes no sense to me,” James continued. “It bothers me. … And then I just saw what happened with the Sixers-Knicks game, too. Like, what are we doing?” -via ESPN / April 23, 2024
