Jamal Murray sank a stunning buzzer beater on Monday night to give the Nuggets a 2-0 series lead over the Lakers.

With the score tied at 99, Murray sized up Anthony Davis and hit a step-back shot from the midrange as time expired to give Denver a two-point win.

The shot culminated a 20-point comeback for Denver, who trailed 68-48 with 10 minutes remaining in the third quarter.

From there, the defending champions woke up, as the Lakers were held to just 40 second-half points and reigning MVP Nikola Jokic finished with 27 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists. 

Murray finished the game with 20 points, with 14 coming in the final quarter.

The series will now head back to LA with Denver in control.
