Denver Nuggets star Jamal Murray recently capped off a remarkable comeback for the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of the playoffs. The game-winning shot has earned praise as one of the best game winners of the season.
With the stakes at an all-time hugh, it couldn't have come at a better time. Following the jaw-dropping shot, more and more angles continued to surface of the game-winner.
A post was made on X asking fans who were at the game to send clips of Murray's shot. The replies certainly didn't disappoint, with a number of angles surfacing of the shot, most notably, from the front row.
Here's the video:
As Jamal Murray explained after the game, although he had struggled from the floor throughout the game, his teammates encouraged him to continue to shoot.
Down the stretch, he knocked down a couple of big shots that helped give the team a massive playoff win.
"I told my teammates when I was struggling, 'I'm going to look for y'all,' and every single one of them told me to keep shooting.
"They told me to stay aggressive and keep looking for it, keep hunting, and when I had the ball with two seconds left, I knew once I had made a couple, the next one should go down, as well."

Although he shot 0-5 from downtown and 9-24 from the floor, Murray's game-winner reminded fans that he's one of the best crunch-time performers in the league.
