In a thrilling NBA playoff series, Jamal Murray showcased his clutch performance by hitting two game-winning shots, including a series-sealing jumper against the Lakers, leading the Denver Nuggets to a 4-1 series victory. Murray, overcoming a calf injury, scored 32 points, with 7 assists and 5 three-pointers, in the decisive Game 5, which ended with a narrow 108-106 score. His heroics not only eliminated the Lakers but also marked him as the first player in the last 25 seasons to hit multiple go-ahead field goals in the final 5 seconds of a single playoff series. Meanwhile, in another series, Derrick White led the Boston Celtics to a 3-1 series lead over the Miami Heat, scoring a playoff career-high 38 points in Game 4 despite Kristaps Porzingis' calf injury.
