He was listed as questionable heading into last night’s game five but Jamal Murray wound up giving it a go at home as the Nuggets were in a position to finish off the Los Angeles Lakers.
Murray, for the second time in the series, hit a game winning shot. This one with just under four seconds to play as the Nuggets got the win, 108-106, to win that first round series over L.A. four games to one.
Murray finished with a game high 32 points on 13 of 28 shooting from the field while Nikola Jokic had a big night as well with 25 points and 20 rebounds.
Lebron James, who’s 39 years old, finished with 30 points and 11 assists for the Lakers.
With the win the Nuggets will advance to play the Minnesota Timberwolves in round two starting on Saturday in Denver.
Minnesota is coming off a dominant 4-0 series sweep in round one against Phoenix.
