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.
