Jamal Murray hits wild buzzer-beater to lift Nuggets past Lakers, complete 20-point comeback in Game 2

Jamal Murray called game on Monday night.

The Denver Nuggets star hit a wild fadeaway bucket at the buzzer to lift them past the Los Angeles Lakers 101-99 in Game 2 of their opening round playoff series.

Murray, with the game tied as time was winding down, drove at Anthony Davis, stepped back and fired. He fell into the Nuggets bench as his shot went down, which sparked a massive celebration at Ball Arena in Denver.

The bucket officially gave the Nuggets a 2-0 series lead over the Lakers, and completed a ridiculous 20-point comeback in the second half.
