The 2020 Playoffs in the NBA will be remembered mostly for being the first ever to be played without an audience, but also for being one of the best, most surprising and thrilling playoffs in them.
The main culprit and major drama provider of this playoff is undoubtedly Denver.
After returning from a big hole against Utah and also against the Clippers, the Nuggets came back from a 16-point deficit against the Lakers with 11 consecutive points from Yukic giving them a 102: 103 lead.
Marie's block on Green left the Lakers with just 2 seconds to recover from the loss and that was enough for Anthony Davis to score the big basket of his career and a three that set up a critical 103: 105 and 0: 2 in the final series.
The best duo in the league.

Davis 'three-pointer was the Lakers' first "buzzer bitter" in the playoffs since Mata World Peace did in 2010.
That basket drove the Lakers crazy and Davis admitted that after the basket he shouted "Kobe."
Frank Vogel also recalled the late star and said after the game: "It's a Mamba shot, Mamba's mentality. When we wear that uniform, we feel Kobe Bryant's legacy and it's a shot Kobe would have scored. It was the big moment of the season so far."

"That basket would probably have tossed the roof at Staples Center," LeBron James said after the game, "We miss our fans so much. The crowd was insanely from such a basket. A great player scores big baskets. "Sometimes out of 10 times they will be destroyed in their pants."
"We ran an exercise, it was supposed to be me or LeBron," Davis said, looking at Rondo all the time.
People say I can not stand the pressure and that I am not ready for the big classes.
But I want to take those shots.
Want it to be part of my legacy.
That's why they brought me here. "
"We knew the ball would go to Davis or LeBron," said Jukic who recorded a great game but snatched the three in the face, "I think I had a really good game and I was on it when he took the shot, but he threw really well. I felt it dived in, great players scoring Big shots. "
Denver's disappointed coach Michael Mellon was less diplomatic and said after the game: "Losing is shit. That's the bottom line. Some people like to win and some hate losing. We're a team that hates to lose. If it's 20 points or if it's a buzzer. Know about this team - we will take the disappointment and frustration and use them to get motivated for Game 3 ".
