Can white prevent checkmate?

Image
I reached here as black. White to play - Qh5 was my last move. I had just sacked my bishop for 2 pawns to open up the king. Can white save checkmate? Full game: Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack Fairly interesting in its own way: 1. b3 e5 2. Bb2 Nc6 3. Nf3 d6 4. e4 Nf6 5. Bb5 a6 6. Bxc6+ bxc6 7. Nc3 d5  8. exd5 cxd5 9. O-O Bg4  10. h3 Bh5 11. Qe2 e4 12. g4 Bxg4 13. hxg4 Nxg4 14. Nd4 Qh5 0-1
