The Lakers had 3.6 seconds to save their season.
That’s how much time was left when Denver’s Jamal Murray hit a 14-foot jumper over Austin Reaves to give the Nuggets a 108-106 lead Monday to put L.A. a few ticks away from elimination in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
With no timeouts at the Lakers’ disposal, a frantic sequence ensued at Ball Arena. Anthony Davis inbounded the ball from under the basket to LeBron James, who passed it to Taurean Prince, who launched a desperation shot at midcourt.
