The Denver Nuggets are sending the Los Angeles Lakers packing after their 108-103 Game 2 loss in the Western Conference finals! In a playoffs fourth quarter for the ages, the Nuggets' own Jamal Murray put the team on his shoulders with 23 points in the fourth quarter alone to complete an incredible 37 point game.
"Just kind of lock you back in," said Murray of the moments before his fourth quarter heroics. "Playing in the Western Conference finals against the Lakers and LeBron James. It's an amazing opportunity, and it's something you're going to look back in history and remember for the rest of your life."
The Nuggets also got an outstanding triple-double from Nikola Jokic who had 23 points, 17 rebounds, and 12 assists, showing why they are the number one seed in the West.
