With the Nuggets down three points, and soon to be four with one of the NBA’s best free throw shooters and prime MVP candidate James Harden on the line, all seemed to be lost.. until the 89% free throw shooter Harden missed the game clinching free throw to make the score 100-96 and the ball was miss-rebounded out of bounds by the Rockets giving Denver 4.2 seconds to run up the court and shoot a prayer of a three to send the Nuggets into overtime.
What you are about to see may blow your mind and is in fact reality. I present the most exciting Nuggets moment of the 2014-2015 season so far:
Sadly after this shot the Nuggets lost in overtime 115-111. There was just too much of that overpowered Rockets offense for the Nuggets to overcome. But despite the loss the game was still one of the more entertaining games and featured one of the Nuggets best buzzer beaters since the buzzer beater below featuring Arron Afflalo during his first tour of duty with the Nuggets back in 2011.
I love action packed buzzer beaters, so hopefully more are to come this year in favor of the Nuggets!
