three-pointer

After Murray drilled a three-pointer and assisted Aaron Gordon on a three-pointer for a 17-point Nuggets lead, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue called a timeout with 2:35 left in the game and removed his starters.

Murray scored and Michael Porter Jr. drilled a three-pointer for a 72-59 Nuggets lead, forcing Lue to call a timeout just 1 minute 7 seconds into the third.

His team went down 84-67, then got to within eight points, but Christian Braun hit a three-pointer with 1.8 seconds left to put the Clippers in a 99-83 hole entering the fourth quarter.

They got down by 22 points in the fourth quarter, took a one-point lead and then tied the score — only to have Jokic shoot an airball on a step-back three-pointer that Aaron Gordon caught by the rim and dunked as time expired.

The Lakers opened the second half with a 14-0 run, with a three-pointer by Reaves extending their lead to 72-61.
