Timberwolves' Mike Conley has waited 4 years for Game 7 redemption after missing buzzer-beater vs. Nuggets

The lasting image from one of the most hectic Game 7 endings in NBA history was of two young guards embracing in mutual admiration. Donovan Mitchell had collapsed to the floor, devastated, after Utah's final 3-point attempt spun out of the cylinder as time expired, leaving Mitchell with only an 80-78 loss to show for his Herculean effort in the bubble: 36.3 points per game on 52% outside shooting in the seven-game saga. On the floor of the mostly empty gymnasium he remained, until Nuggets guard Jamal Murray found him there and helped him up. Murray comforted his opponent.
