The Trail Blazers and Nuggets combined to give us the most ridiculously absurd shot making sequence we’ll see all season

There have been plenty of exciting games so far this season with many of the coming down to the wire.

But I highly doubt that we’ll see one as impressive as what the Denver Nuggets and Portland Trail Blazers gave us on Thursday night.

Yes, I’m well aware of the consequences of what I’m saying. This is a meaningless regular season game in the middle of December. Nobody is going to care about this in May or June.

But still, this might be the most exciting game we’ve seen all year. At the bare minimum, it’ll be the best finish we see all year.

Damian Lillard, Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic and their respective teams gave us clutch bucket after clutch bucket after clutch bucket. Lillard dropped in 40 points with what looked like it should’ve been the game-winning shot. Jokic gave us a near triple-double with 33 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists.

Murray? Well, let’s just say he was bubble Jamal Murray again. Y’all know the vibes. Come get some, Jerami Grant.

That’s the game-winner right there. A big 3-pointer to beat the buzzer from Murray and send the Nuggets home with a W.

But that’s just the ending. The entire sequence that led up to it was just as insane. 

That’s just an entire minute of some of the toughest buckets you’ll see all season long. Man. Somebody had to go home with an L, I guess. But, clearly, we’re all the winners here.

More of this please, NBA. Thank you.
