Former Kentucky men’s basketball star Jamal Murray made headlines on Monday, nailing a game-winning buzzer beater shot over fellow Wildcat Anthony Davis in the NBA Playoffs.
Murray, a member of the Denver Nuggets, scored 20 points to propel his team to a 101-99 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, taking a 2-0 series lead in the first round of the Playoffs.
With 47.1 seconds on the clock LeBron James drove into the paint for a layup that gave one of the most stories franchises in NBA history the lead before Murray’s 19-foot step back jumper tied it up at 99 all.
