NBA players are losing their minds with Jamal Murray hitting an incredible game-winner as the Denver Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Lakers to take a 2-0 series lead on Monday.

Here’s how NBA players around the league are reacting to the dramatic scenes in Denver tonight:

Here’s what some of the Lakers players and coaches had to say after the game:

“I don’t understand what’s going on in the replay center, to be honest,” he said. “… DLo clearly gets hit in the face on a drive. What the f— do we have a replay center for if it’s going to go [like that]. It doesn’t make sense to me. It bothers me. … And then I just saw what happened with the Sixers-Knicks game too. Like, what are we doing? … It’s f—ing stupid.”
DARVIN HAM
“Some tough calls,” he said. “Some tough non-calls. But you can’t use any of that as an excuse. You gotta go out there and be ready to make plays whether the whistle gets blown or not. It’s getting real tricky — you go through the season, games being officiated one way, and then you get to the playoffs, and I guess it’s left up to the interpretation of the three individual guys that’s doing the job out there.”
