Anthony Davis scored a buzzer-beating three pointer to seal the Los Angeles Lakers’ 105-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday for a 2-0 lead in the NBA Western Conference finals. 

Davis scored 31 points and pulled down nine rebounds while LeBron James added 11 rebounds as the Lakers turned back the determined Nuggets. 

Nuggets had taken a 103-102 lead on Nikola Jokic’s driving basket with 20.8 seconds remaining. Jokic finished with 30 points, six rebounds and nine assists to lead Nuggets. Davis and Jokic traded baskets down the stretch, Jokic tipping in a miss from teammate Murray to put the Nuggets up 101-100 with 31.8 seconds left, only for Davis to answer at the other end.

After Jokic’s last basket, Alex Caruso missed a three-pointer for the Lakers  and Murray blocked a shot by Danny Green, giving the Lakers a chance to inbound the ball. Rajon Rondo was able to find Davis, and the All-Star forward drained the game-winner over Jokic. 

Davis told AFP, “People talk about (I’ve) never been in this moment before, pressure, am I ready for it. I want to take those shots.”
