DENVER—Jamal Murray didn’t even see the biggest basket of his career. At least not live, he didn’t.

Murray swished a step-back 15-footer over Anthony Davis at the buzzer Monday night, April 22, giving the Denver Nuggets a stunning 101–99 win over the Los Angeles Lakers and capping a comeback from a 20-point second-half deficit.
