Lakers Might Not Recover from this
Jamal Murray Saves the Denver Nuggets in Stunning Upset
Murray's buzzer-beater lifts Denver over Los Angeles
The Denver Nuggets pulled off a remarkable comeback on Monday night, wiping out a 20-point deficit in the second half to stun the Los Angeles Lakers 119-107. Jamal Murray was the hero for Denver, hitting a ridiculous fadeaway buzzer-beater over Anthony Davis to lift the Nuggets to victory.
The Lakers were up 20 points with just over 6 minutes remaining in the third quarter, but the Nuggets slowly chipped away at the lead. Denver outscored Los Angeles 20-6 in the final 6 minutes of the third to cut the deficit to just 6 points heading into the fourth quarter.
The Nuggets continued to chip away in the fourth, and eventually tied the game with just over 1 minute remaining. Murray then hit his game-winning shot, which was his only field goal attempt of the fourth quarter.
The win was a huge one for the Nuggets, who improved to 3-7 against the Lakers this season. It was also a disappointing loss for the Lakers, who dropped to 4-6 against Denver during this stretch.
Here are five takeaways from the Nuggets' 119-107 win:
- Jamal Murray is a superstar. The 24-year-old guard has been playing at an All-Star level all season, and he proved it once again on Monday night. Murray hit the game-winning shot, but he also played a key role in Denver's comeback, scoring 15 points in the second half.

- The NBA is better when the Nuggets and Lakers are playing well. These two teams have a long history of playing exciting games, and Monday night's game was no exception. The Nuggets and Lakers are two of the most popular teams in the NBA, and their games always attract a lot of attention.
