It wasn’t Nikola Jokic who made the game-winning buzzer-beater in Game 2 of the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers series, although his 27-20-10 triple-double needs to be highlighted.
No, it was his teammate Jamal Murray who pulled up a la Kawhi Leonard near the corner and sank a shot over Anthony Davis to give Denver a 101-99 victory and a 2-0 lead over LeBron James’ squad.
There’s so much to take in from that shot, including Anthony Davis getting buried while the Nuggets celebrated right in front of him. But the photos of the game-winner are part of it.
Check out the shot on video, then the photo below and the one we posted at the top of this post. Put ’em in a museum:
"Murray, makes a move…GOOOOOOOOD. THE NUGGETS HAVE WON."
