The Denver Nuggets delivered a heart-stopping 108-106 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 5, closing their playoff series 4-1 and punching their ticket to the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves. 🏆
With just 26.3 seconds left and the score tied, Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic teamed up for a play that'll go down in highlights history. Jokic’s ‘fake-and-dash’ screen on Anthony Davis freed up Murray to sink the game-winning jumper with 3.6 seconds left. 🎯 Lakers fans held their breath as LeBron James’ half-court heave missed the mark, sealing Denver’s dominance.
Murray’s clutch shot capped a back-and-forth battle where both teams traded leads like trending TikTok challenges. Jokic’s versatility (and Davis’ defensive scramble) kept the Ball Arena crowd roaring louder than a Coachella headliner. 🎧
