Lakers Lose to Nuggets in Heartbreaking Game 2 on Murray Buzzer-Beater
Denver's Jamal Murray Delivers Last-Second Blow
Los Angeles Lakers' Season on the Brink
The Los Angeles Lakers' hopes of reaching the NBA Finals took a major hit on Friday night, as they fell to the Denver Nuggets 122-120 in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals. The loss leaves the Lakers trailing 0-2 in the series and facing an uphill battle to advance.
The game was a heartbreaker for the Lakers, who led by 11 points with just four minutes remaining. However, the Nuggets stormed back behind a barrage of three-pointers, tying the game with just seconds remaining. Jamal Murray then delivered the dagger, hitting a buzzer-beating three-pointer to give the Nuggets the victory.
The loss was a tough blow for the Lakers, who were hoping to build on their momentum from a dominating Game 6 victory over the Golden State Warriors in the previous round. LeBron James led the Lakers with 30 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Nuggets' hot shooting.
The Lakers will now need to win four straight games in order to advance to the Western Conference finals. Game 3 of the series is set for Sunday night in Denver.
