Boban Marjanović intentionally misses free throw to give Clippers fans free chicken
theathletic.com/5415835/2024/04/15/boban-marjanovic-miss-free-throw-free-chicken/
Quick Glance: Boban Marjanovic's Impact on Fans and Game Outcome
- Boban Marjanovic, the Houston Rockets' center, ensured fans in Los Angeles left happy and well-fed.
- During the late fourth quarter of the Rockets' season finale versus the Los Angeles Clippers, Marjanovic stepped up to the free-throw line and missed the initial shot of a pair. An opposing player missing two consecutive free throws in a Clippers promotion grants fans free chicken.
- Displaying a keen understanding of the situation, Marjanovic personally took charge to secure some chicken for the fan base. Gesturing towards himself, the 7'4" center attempted the second free throw, resulting in another miss as the ball clanged off the rim.
- Having spent two seasons with the Clippers, the 35-year-old reciprocated the affection shown by fans during his time in Los Angeles. The gesture was highly valued by fans in the home arena. Fortunately, Marjanovic's actions at the free-throw line did not significantly impact the game, with the Rockets emerging victorious at 116-105.

Lakers Ripped by NBA Fans After 2nd-Half Collapse in Loss to Nikola Jokić, Nuggets
bleacherreport.com/articles/10118082-lakers-ripped-by-nba-fans-after-2nd-half-collapse-in-loss-to-nikola-jokic-nuggets
Quick Glance: Fans Criticize Lakers for Collapse Against Nuggets
- The Los Angeles Lakers seemed to be heading towards a significant victory in Game 2 of their first-round series against the Denver Nuggets, but a dramatic collapse in the fourth quarter resulted in a lost lead and a 101-99 defeat.
- Following the loss, NBA fans heavily criticized the Lakers for their performance.
- The Lakers have now suffered six consecutive playoff losses against the Nuggets, dating back to the last Western Conference Finals.
- A return to Los Angeles could assist the Lakers in refocusing to avoid a seemingly insurmountable 3-0 deficit. The third game between Los Angeles and Denver is scheduled for Thursday at 10:00 p.m. ET.
Jamal Murray’s Nuggets teammates knew he would deliver big in Game 2 win over Lakers
theathletic.com/5437978/2024/04/23/jamal-murray-nuggets-lakers-game-2/
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.
