Anthony Davis: "Jamal Murray made a shot."
Quick Glance: Jamal Murray Leads Denver Nuggets to Impressive Victory over LA Lakers
- Jamal Murray achieved an impressive 15-foot buzzer-beater over Anthony Davis to complete a sensational 20-point comeback and give the Denver Nuggets a 101-99 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. This unexpected triumph grants the defending champions a 2-0 lead in the first round, as they now prepare for the upcoming games in the Lakers' arena.
- Following the game-winning shot, Jamal Murray fell into the Nuggets' bench and was embraced by his teammates, igniting the atmosphere in the Ball Arena. Murray faced a challenging start in the game, hitting only three of his first 16 shots before going 6-for-8 in the fourth quarter, scoring 14 of his total 20 points, including the decisive basket.
- While Murray encountered difficulties, the Nuggets stayed competitive thanks to another outstanding performance by Nikola Jokić, who recorded 27 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, and two steals. Michael Porter Jr. also played a crucial role in the Nuggets' victory with 22 points, including successful shooting from beyond the arc.
- The Lakers expressed dissatisfaction with the officiating, particularly regarding a play in the third quarter where a foul against Porter Jr. on D'Angelo Russell was overturned after a review by the Nuggets. It is evident that the Lakers' prospects are increasingly dim after losing 10 consecutive games against the Nuggets. A monumental shift in fate will be required for Los Angeles to progress to the next round.

- An activist group has reported that Google has terminated at least 20 more employees in response to protests over the technology supplied to the Israeli government amid the Gaza conflict, bringing the total number of dismissed employees to over 50.

- Last week, demonstrations were held by employees at Google offices in New York and Sunnyvale, California, resulting in the company contacting law enforcement, leading to subsequent arrests.
- According to Google, the additional terminations were carried out after an investigation gathered information from colleagues who were 'physically disrupted,' and employees were identified who wore masks and did not carry their ID badges to conceal their identities. The company refuted the group's allegations, asserting that it meticulously verified that 'each individual whose employment was terminated was personally and conclusively involved in disruptive activities within our premises.'
