Jamal Murray hits buzzer-beater to cap 20-point Game 2 comeback for the Denver Nuggets against the Los Angeles Lakers
cnn.com/2024/04/23/sport/jamal-murray-denver-nuggets-la-lakers-nba-playoffs-spt-intl/
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.

Quick Glance: Potential Trade Moves for Sacramento Kings Post Stagnation
- After a promising season, the Kings' playoff debut ended after just one season. Despite similar performance to the previous year, altered expectations led to disappointment. The Kings find themselves stuck in the NBA's Maddening Middle, where progress is painstaking, exhilaration fleeting.
- The Kings have a solid foundation with emerging players like Fox, Sabonis, and Murray. Despite missing the play-in, the core for a strong playoff team is in place. The challenge now lies in making the leap from good to great, meeting high expectations, and navigating the competitive Western Conference.
- Despite a promising season, the Kings were not as dominant as before. Improvements in defense and offensive challenges shaped their course. Sacramento needs patience and strategic decisions to thrive in the tough Western Conference, make the next step, and stay competitive.
