LeBron James is usually the one hitting the memorable buzzer-beating shots in the NBA playoffs.
It was his teammate’s turn Sunday.
Anthony Davis drilled a game-winning three-pointer to give the Los Angeles Lakers a 105-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals and propel the Purple and Gold to a 2-0 lead in the series.
“Special moment for a special player,” James told reporters. “Happy to be a part of it.”
The King also gave a shout-out to the Lakers fans, adding, “I wish we were playing at Staples [Center] … We miss our fans so much … It probably would have blown the roof off,” while praising the big man for taking advantage of the moment:
