Recap: Nuggets can’t complete comeback against Lakers in Game 2, lose 105-103

In heartbreaking fashion, the Los Angeles Lakers made the game-winning play tonight with Anthony Davis hitting a buzzer-beating three over the outstretched arm of Nikola Jokic to win 105-103 and extend the series lead to 2-0.

The Nuggets fought valiantly to make the comeback, with Nikola Jokic leading the way and making some clutch shots of his own down the stretch, but it wasn’t enough after a miscommunication between Mason Plumlee and Jerami Grant left Davis open for the game-winner. Davis finished with 31 points and nine rebounds. LeBron James finished with 26 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists.
