Jamal Murray Saves the Denver Nuggets With Last-Second Buzzer-Beater
Sensational Comeback Caps Off 20-Point Deficit
In a thrilling Game 4 matchup, Denver Nuggets star guard Jamal Murray played hero once again. With seconds remaining on the clock and the Nuggets trailing by one point, Murray pulled up from 15 feet and drained a dramatic buzzer-beater over the outstretched arm of Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis. The game-winning shot capped off a remarkable 20-point comeback for the Nuggets, giving them a 101-99 victory and a 3-1 lead in the series.
Murray's Injury Concerns
While Murray's heroics were undoubtedly impressive, the Nuggets received a scare in the aftermath of the game. The team released its injury report for Game 5, listing Murray as questionable with a left calf strain. The severity of the injury is still unclear, but it could potentially impact his availability for the crucial game.
A Resurgent Nuggets
Despite Murray's potential absence, the Nuggets are riding a wave of momentum heading into Game 5. Murray's return has revitalized the team, who have now won three consecutive games after dropping the series opener to the Lakers. Coach Michael Malone praised Murray's impact, saying, "His return has given us a huge boost. He's a dynamic player who can create something out of nothing."
