Denver The Denver Nuggets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 108-106 on Monday night, ensuring the Lakers’ elimination from the NBA playoffs.
Jamal Murray made a jumper in the last seconds to seal the victory, mirroring his valiant efforts in Game 2.
Following, Murray remarked, “This one was a little better,” in an interview with TNT. It is a real-life dream. To complete it in this manner with all these supporters on your side. I am at a loss for words. I’m simply delighted for us.
The Lakers were able to prevent a rematch of the Western Conference Finals from the previous year, when the Nuggets swept them 4-0 en route to their maiden NBA championship, by winning Game 4 at home after losing the first three games of their first-round playoff series.
Then, they were attempting to make history by being the first team to win a best-of-seven series after falling behind 3-0.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, who recently won their first series in 20 years, will next host Denver. They won 122-116 at Phoenix on Sunday to secure the franchise’s first-ever sweep.
