Head Coach Michael Malone says denver nuggets have agreed a roster deal with…….
The Los Angeles Lakers gave the Denver Nuggets everything they could handle in their first round playoff series. LeBron James and Anthony Davis did it all, but ultimately it was Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray coming through when it mattered most to give the Nuggets the series victory in five games.
Murray, in particular, doomed the Lakers, hitting a buzzer-beater to give Denver the victory in Game 2, and then ending the series with a game-winning jumper with just seconds to go in Game 5. And for Murray, doing so against LeBron made it mean a little more.
LeBron and Murray had their moments going at each other throughout the series, but the Nuggets guard has a ton of respect. Following Game 5, Murray reflected on being a James fan growing up and how amazing it is to now have these battles with the Lakers superstar.
