Disappointed Anthony Davis Goes Mic Drop on Jamal Murray After Lakers Buzzer-Beater Loss to Nugge
The Denver Nuggets pulled off an unbelievable 20-point comeback against the Los Angeles Lakers before stopping them for 101-99. The game ran with excitement throughout every minute that’s been played before ending in a nail-biter full blown shot from Jamal Murray.
The final moments of the match went too intense after LeBron James missed an open throw while both teams were at 99 points each. The Nuggets got hold of the ball after LeBron’s attempt proved sterile to put down a winning point.
The ball quickly reached Nuggets' point guard Jamal Murray as he made a heroic attempt to 15-foot buzzer-beater, passing off the towering 6 ft 10 inch tall Anthony Davis. The shot landed lofting in air to the basket taking the Nuggets two points ahead to post a thunderous win.
However, the heartening loss did not go well with Davis as he seemed completely heartbroken. The same was clearly evident on his face during the post-game presser where he was asked about Murray’s shot.
AD was not having it as he responded with: ‘Jamal Murray made a shot’ before dropping the mic and parting away from the press podium. 
With this momentous win, Denver now holds a commanding 2-0 series lead in the first round, posing a significant challenge for the defending champions as they face off in Los Angeles at the Crypto.com Arena for the upcoming games.
