Jamal Murray hits buzzer-beater to cap 20-point Game 2 comeback for the Denver Nuggets against the Los Angeles Lakers
cnn.com/2024/04/23/sport/jamal-murray-denver-nuggets-la-lakers-nba-playoffs-spt-intl/
Quick Glance: Jamal Murray Leads Denver Nuggets to Impressive Victory over LA Lakers
- Jamal Murray achieved an impressive 15-foot buzzer-beater over Anthony Davis to complete a sensational 20-point comeback and give the Denver Nuggets a 101-99 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. This unexpected triumph grants the defending champions a 2-0 lead in the first round, as they now prepare for the upcoming games in the Lakers' arena.
- Following the game-winning shot, Jamal Murray fell into the Nuggets' bench and was embraced by his teammates, igniting the atmosphere in the Ball Arena. Murray faced a challenging start in the game, hitting only three of his first 16 shots before going 6-for-8 in the fourth quarter, scoring 14 of his total 20 points, including the decisive basket.
- While Murray encountered difficulties, the Nuggets stayed competitive thanks to another outstanding performance by Nikola Jokić, who recorded 27 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, and two steals. Michael Porter Jr. also played a crucial role in the Nuggets' victory with 22 points, including successful shooting from beyond the arc.
- The Lakers expressed dissatisfaction with the officiating, particularly regarding a play in the third quarter where a foul against Porter Jr. on D'Angelo Russell was overturned after a review by the Nuggets. It is evident that the Lakers' prospects are increasingly dim after losing 10 consecutive games against the Nuggets. A monumental shift in fate will be required for Los Angeles to progress to the next round.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone has been ejected from the game after a fan behind the dugout yelled at the umpire 🤨
Quick Glance: Yankees' Aaron Boone Ejected for Fan-Heckling of MLB Umpire in Unusual Incident: 'I Don't Care Who Said It'
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected early in the game against the A's at Yankee Stadium after a fan yelled something. This marked his 35th career ejection, with a rather unusual reason this time.
- Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt warned Boone of an ejection after just five pitches if another word was said. A fan behind the dugout shouted something, leading Wendelstedt to toss Boone out of the game.
- Boone's reactions, including pointing to the crowd, were captured on video. In one clip, Boone can be heard denying he said anything. Despite Wendelstedt's error in judgment, the ejection stood, making for a highly entertaining situation.
- Although Wendelstedt misinterpreted the situation and Boone was innocent, the ejection remained. Nevertheless, the whole incident was incredibly entertaining, and Boone's 35 ejections in a short span of time is quite an impressive feat.

Quick Glance: Lifetime Ban as Warning to NBA Gamblers: Coach
- Commissioner Adam Silver's firm stance on Raptors bench player Jontay Porter serves as a cautionary tale for potential NBA gamblers.
- The NBA's decision to ban Jontay Porter due to his involvement in gambling did not come as a surprise to anyone in the league.
- NBA bit players pose a gambling risk and were seen as an ideal example in this cautionary tale, as mentioned by an NBA coach.
- Porter's limited significance as a player will lead to the story fading quickly, even though it may be referenced in relation to his brother Michael Porter Jr. and the Nuggets during the playoffs.

Quick Glance: Potential Trade Moves for Sacramento Kings Post Stagnation
- After a promising season, the Kings' playoff debut ended after just one season. Despite similar performance to the previous year, altered expectations led to disappointment. The Kings find themselves stuck in the NBA's Maddening Middle, where progress is painstaking, exhilaration fleeting.
- The Kings have a solid foundation with emerging players like Fox, Sabonis, and Murray. Despite missing the play-in, the core for a strong playoff team is in place. The challenge now lies in making the leap from good to great, meeting high expectations, and navigating the competitive Western Conference.
- Despite a promising season, the Kings were not as dominant as before. Improvements in defense and offensive challenges shaped their course. Sacramento needs patience and strategic decisions to thrive in the tough Western Conference, make the next step, and stay competitive.
It’s chilly outside in San Diego, probably. 🫣
For the third straight season, the Kings and Oilers will face off in Round 1 of the #StanleyCup Playoffs. ⚔️
