The Denver Nuggets looked like they were going to steal Game 2 of their Western Conference Finals series Sunday night with the Lakers… until Anthony Davis ripped out their hearts with a game-winning, 3-point buzzer-beater that gave Los Angeles a 105-103 win in Orlando.
Trailing by one point and just 2.1 seconds left in the game, Davis took an inbounds pass from Rajon Rondo and casually drained a 3-pointer as time expired that sent his team into hysterics.
Afterwards he said the Lakers, who were wearing their special Mamba jerseys, never want to lose in those jerseys that honor Kobe Bryant.
You have to think Kobe would love this mentality:
“We never wanna lose in these jerseys.”
