It's a simple truth in sports: some players thrive under pressure, while others falter. Jamal Murray, once again, proved his clutch status by sinking his second game-winner in the five-game series against the Lakers, effectively ending their season.
"I'm speechless. It's a dream come true," Murray said on TNT. "All these fans on your side to get it done in this fashion, I don't know. I don't know what to say. I'm just happy for us."
Jamal Murray scored 32 points despite a strained calf and sank the game-winner with 3.6 seconds over Austin Reaves from just inside the free-throw line, securing a 108-106 victory over the Lakers. After Murray's clutch shot, Taurean Prince threw up a half-courter that fell short, sending the Lakers to an early exit from the playoffs.
The Nuggets face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday, and LeBron James heads home to rest up for USA Basketball training camp. But the real fun will come in the aftermath of the early Lakers exit. You can expect everything from a coaching change to major roster moves in the offseason.
