Murray (32 points, 7 assists), the ace out of Denver who frustrated the Los Angeles Lakers with his dramatic buzzer beater in the second game, scored the winning goal with an exquisite mid jumper just 3.0 seconds before the end of the game. He became the man of the clutch for this series.
For Denver, Nikola Jokic was active with 25 points and 20 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers had a triple double-weight performance by LeBron James (30 points, 11 assists, 9 rebounds) and Anthony Davis (17 points, 15 points), but they couldn't overcome Denver's wall in the end.
The Los Angeles Lakers had the upper hand. They targeted Denver under the basket with LeBron James at the forefront. They led 53-50 in the first half. At one point in the third quarter, they widened their lead to nine points and seemed to win. LeBron James' 3-pointer and Rui Hachimura's drive-in layup shot led the team 69-60.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, LeBron fired back. He hit a three-pointer and hit a shot under the basket, causing a mismatch. From this point on, the first close game continued.
When Jokic scored a putback after the offensive rebound with 1:46 left in the game, LeBron immediately hit a drive-in layup shot and turned the game around.
At this point, Murray began to step up. Set things up with a three-point conversion. 106-104, Denver's lead by two points.
LeBron James again induced Michael Porter Jr.'s foul, and tied again as he calmly put in two free throws. 26 seconds left. 토토사이트
When Denver's final attack, which was reminiscent of overtime, Murray gushed in. Austin Reeves was on full steam, but Murray threw a mid jumper that followed a superb hedging move, and the shot passed through the rim like a lie. That was the end of the game. Murray made it in Game 5 when he saved Denver by hitting a dramatic buzzer beater
