Jamal Murray sinks game-winning BUZZER BEATER as Nuggets erase 20-point second-half deficit against LeBron James' Lakers to pull out 101-99 win and push series lead to 2-0

Jamal Murray scored an impressive buzzer-beater on Monday night to give the Nuggets a 2-0 series lead over the Lakers.

With the score tied at 99, Murray tested Anthony Davis and hit a putback shot from mid-range as time expired to give Denver a two-point victory.

The shot capped a 20-point comeback for Denver, which trailed 68-48 with 10 minutes left in the third quarter.

From there, the defending champions woke up, as the Lakers were held to just 40 points in the second half and reigning MVP Nikola Jokic finished with 27 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists.

Murray finished the game with 20 points, 14 of them in the fourth quarter.

The series will now return to Los Angeles with Denver at the helm.
