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 JokiΔ, 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.
D'Angelo Russell will likely turn down his player option and become a free agent this summer, per @WindhorstESPN (h/t @LakersDailyCom )

The NBA Just Banned a Player for Life. It Had No Choice.: He did things worse than anything Pete Rose ever got up to.
slate.com/culture/2024/04/jontay-porter-lifetime-ban-nba-sports-betting-scandal-gambling.html
Quick Glance: Lifetime Ban as Warning to NBA Gamblers: Coach
- Commissioner Adam Silver's firm stance on Raptors bench player Jontay Porter serves as a cautionary tale for potential NBA gamblers.
- The NBA's decision to ban Jontay Porter due to his involvement in gambling did not come as a surprise to anyone in the league.
- NBA bit players pose a gambling risk and were seen as an ideal example in this cautionary tale, as mentioned by an NBA coach.
- Porter's limited significance as a player will lead to the story fading quickly, even though it may be referenced in relation to his brother Michael Porter Jr. and the Nuggets during the playoffs.
