In a thrilling Game 2 of their playoff series, the Denver Nuggets stole a heartbreaker against the Los Angeles Lakers, thanks to a game-winning buzzer-beater by Jamal Murray.
Los Angeles dominated the first half, establishing a comfortable 20-point lead. However, the Nuggets refused to fold, chipping away at the Lakers' advantage throughout the second half.
