Luka Doncic knocked down the decisive shot in overtime, giving the Los Angeles Lakers a 127–125 victory over the Denver Nuggets on March 15, 2026.
With the score tied in the extra period, the All-Star guard created space near the top of the key and buried the game-winner, leaving Denver without enough time to answer. The basket capped a tightly contested matchup that featured multiple lead changes and forced overtime after the teams finished regulation even.
The win moved Los Angeles two points clear of Denver in the final box score, handing the defending champions a hard-fought loss. The Nuggets had rallied late in the fourth quarter to extend the game but could not overcome Doncic’s late heroics in the extra session.
