Luka Doncic was the biggest star on Saturday for the Lakers, as he hit yet another step-back game-winner, this time against their fierce rivals, the Nuggets.

They came into this matchup with a five-game winning streak, and they had an opportunity to put some separation between them and the Rockets in the standings. After most of the first half was close, Houston went into halftime up 57-51 and then built a 63-53 lead early in the third quarter.

Trailing 118-116 with 5.2 seconds remaining in regulation, the Los Angeles Lakers knew Austin Reaves would intentionally miss his second free throw attempt against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night
