Los Angeles Lakers 103

Denver Nuggets 108

• Murray then took control in the 4th and scored 23 to help the Nuggets complete the comeback. He finished with 37 on the night.

Panthers up 1-0

Florida Panthers 3

Carolina Hurricanes 2

• The Florida Panthers can’t be stopped. They took the best team in the NHL in the first round of playoffs, defeating the Boston Bruins. The Panthers then rolled through the Toronto Maple Leafs. Now they kicked off the Eastern Conference Finals with a 4OT win over the team with the 2nd most points in the regular season.

• The Panthers had a 2-1 lead heading into the 3rd period but Carolina’s Stefan Noesen tied up the game with a power play goal.

• The teams would play 3 more scoreless periods and then Matthew Tkachuk would score his 6th goal in the playoffs with 13 seconds left on the 4th OT clock.

• One regular NHL game is 60 minutes of play. This game was 139 minutes and 47 seconds. That is wild!

• What’s even more wild is this is only the sixth-longest game ever in the playoffs.
