The Los Angeles Lakers stormed to a 127-125 overtime win over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, sealing the deal with some Luka Dončić magic. With six seconds remaining in overtime, Dončić sunk a difficult game-winning fadeaway from the corner, beating the clock and securing the win.
After taking a lead in the first half, Los Angeles fell behind after a big third quarter from the Nuggets, before pulling back within a few points of Denver’s lead. And then, in the final seconds, Austin Reaves missed his second free throw, but was able to grab his own rebound to hit a tricky game-tying layup.
During a low-scoring overtime period, Marcus Smart hit a big three-pointer to pull ahead again. But it was Dončić’s jumper that gave L.A. the home win.
