The Denver Nuggets somehow beat the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, and Monte Morris was the hero.
Steph Curry had given Golden State a 116-114 lead with 5.9 seconds left. But Denver was not deterred.
Nikola Jokic got the ball and gave Morris a no-look pass for a 3-pointer. Morris nailed it at the buzzer to give Denver the win:
