This was a game winner to win the nuggets first round playoff matchup, which is always a big deal, but there are three things that are particularly impressive here:

  1. Jamal Murray was injured coming into this game, so the fact that he held strong through the game, played great basketball, and hit the game winner is impressive.

  2. The degree of difficulty on that shot was massive. Going left and shooting right requires perfect balance, focus, and contortion to get the shot off properly. Murray used this to catch the Lakers' Austin Reaves off guard and get a clean look, leveraging a difficult shot against an even more difficult to defend attack.

  3. This is the 2nd game winner Jamal Murray has hit this playoff series, both of which were highly difficult shots. Big time shot maker making big time shots.
