Before Jamal Murray ripped out the Lakers’ hearts, Aaron Gordon smothered their soul.
“I think it was in the huddle,” Nuggets wing Peyton Watson said of a 101-99 buzzer-beating win over the Los Angeles Lakers, one that staked Denver to a 2-0 series lead. “(Coach) said (to) switch, and (Gordon) was just like, ‘Whatever, let’s do it.'”
Before the wow, Monday night was all Brow. The greatest comeback in Nuggets postseason history began with an avalanche of Anthony Davis — the Lakers center who’d rolled into halftime with a game-high 24 points.
AD was a downhill train, scoring for fun.
