    TNT with possibly the greatest double-header in basketball history tonight.

  2. homefree122

    What a fucking game. Nuggets are not going to be stopped no matter how the game plays out. They’ll always win at the buzzer.

  3. EutaxySpy

    Jamal Murray just owns the Lakers, he was 4-18 at one point and then couldn’t miss in the clutch

  7. SaxRohmer

    gotta admire the lakers’ dedication to finding new ways to lose to the nuggets

  8. shastmak4

    Lmaoooo emptied the clip and still lost. I can’t fucking believe it.

  9. Im__Ron__Burgundy

    Great D’Lo game. Great AD game. Great Lebron game. CTE Murray for 47 minutes. Doesn’t matter. Jesus.

  11. DapperUnion

    AD not touching the ball the last 5 possessions is criminal

  13. iRockaflame

    Yeah this series is a sweep holy shit lmao

  16. RiggyTang

    I’ve watched over 20 years and that is one of the greatest games I have ever seen.

  19. paatreek

    I’m glad I’m not a fan of either team, what an entertaining game.

  20. Southern_sky

    No team psychologically fucks up the Lakers like these Nuggets do

  21. xap31

    It pains to be a Lakers and a Sixers fan right now.

  22. egregious888

    On God this is the greatest sport in the world

  24. International-Chef33

    Murray hitting the game winner over AD was the perfect ending for this game as AD faded into the black on the sideline lol

  25. DerGovernator

    Lakers are now 0-10 vs the Nuggets since LeBron picked Joker last in the All-star game.

  27. DefactoAtheist

    It’s a huge cliche but scraping out an ugly ass win when you’re having an utterly *dire* game like the Nuggets were for large stretches of this one is championship calibre shit.

  28. UA30_j7L

    Murray shot obviously all-time but the LeBron dunk -> MPJ 3 sequence was playoff bball at its peak

  30. alexjimithing

    Chuck shitting on Ham for blaming the refs hell yeah

  31. NeverFinishWhatIStar

    I can’t get over that Aaron Gordon save to MPJ 3. The shot before the shot.
