The iconic game gave Los Angeles Lakers a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals.
In the game, Lakers easily bagged a 16-point third-quarter lead with 8:12 left finals against the Denver Nuggets and it appeared like they would cruise to a victory, like they did in Game 1.
The Nuggets, however, kept playing and cutting the Lakers' lead to 82-78 entering the fourth quarter and this when Anthony Davis' buzzer-beater gave the Lakers a massive win in the game.
Initially Nuggets had trailed by as much as 16, but Nikola Jokic scored 11 straight Denver points, including a basket that made it 103-102 with 20 seconds to play.
Alex Caruso then missed a three-pointer and Jamal Murray blocked Danny Green’s shot out of bounds with mere 2.1 seconds to play. Both teams were sloppy taking care of the ball. The Lakers committed 23 turnovers to 19 for the Nuggets.
Davis, who scored the last 10 Laker points, delivered 22 of his 31 points in the second half for the Lakers, who hold a 2-0 series lead. Davis also finished with nine rebounds.

“Special moment for me, special moment for the team, especially in a situation like that trying to go up 2-0 against a special team, who are great competitors and (fought) for the entire 48 minutes,” news agency Reuters quoted Davis as saying.
Anthony Davis has never taken a bigger shot in the NBA. The Game 3 is scheduled to take place on Tuesday.
In the third, the Lakers went up 70-54 after Green’s 3-pointer less than four minutes into the quarter, but the Nuggets outscored the Lakers 24-12 the rest of the quarter to pull within 82-78 heading into the fourth quarter.
