Los Angeles, United States—LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers crashed out of the NBA playoffs on Monday after defending champions Denver snatched a 108-106 victory to complete a 4-1 series triumph.
But Denver showed their superb championship pedigree once again down the stretch and it was Murray, who applied the coup de grace in a frantic finale, coolly running down the clock before draining the winning basket. Two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic backed up Murray with 25 points, 20 rebounds and nine assists, while Michael Porter Jr. had 26 points including five three-pointers.
