In a stunning upset, the Denver Nuggets have defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, taking a 2-0 series lead.

With just seconds remaining on the clock, Murray hit a step-back jumper to give the Nuggets the thrilling victory. The shot sent the Pepsi Center crowd into a frenzy and silenced the Lakers' faithful. The win marks the first time the Nuggets have taken a 2-0 lead in a playoff series against the Lakers.
The Lakers now face an uphill battle to regain momentum in the series. They will host Game 3 in Los Angeles on Friday, but the Nuggets have shown that they are a formidable opponent. If the Lakers cannot find a way to turn things around, their championship hopes could be in jeopardy.
