Luka Dončić hits wild fadeaway jumper to lead Lakers over Nuggets in overtime

· Yahoo Sports

The Los Angeles Lakers stormed to a 127-125 overtime win over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, sealing the deal with some Luka Dončić magic. With six seconds remaining in overtime, Dončić sunk a difficult game-winning fadeaway from the corner, beating the clock and securing the win.

After taking a lead in the first half, Los Angeles fell behind after a big third quarter from the Nuggets, before pulling back within a few points of Denver's lead. And then, in the final seconds, Austin Reaves missed his second free throw, but was able to grab his own rebound to hit a tricky game-tying layup.

The overtime period was slow-going for both teams, who both saw some key missed shots. After a pair of layups from Deandre Ayton, Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon hit a three-pointer to give Denver the lead, before Marcus Smart hit a big three-pointer to pull ahead again.

Nikola Jokić then drove for a layup to tie things up. But it was Dončić's jumper that gave L.A. the home win.

Dončić ended the night with a massive triple-double, notching 30 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists. Reaves, meanwhile, lead both teams with 32 points, as L.A. notches another team effort.
