Nikola Jokic and Arizona Basketball alum Aaron Gordon did everything they could to help keep the Denver Nuggets' dreams of back-to-back championships alive against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
After falling short in Game 1 and getting completely pantsed in Game 2, the Nuggets have turned on the jets in Games 3 and 4 against the Timberwolves to even the series at 2-2. The 115-107 win by the Nuggets on Sunday, May 12, was partly propelled by a 27-point day from Gordon.
Gordon exploded last night, even by NBA standards. He shot 11-12 (91.7%) from the field and 2-2 from 3-point range. His seven rebounds led the team, he logged a game-high-tying two blocks, and his 27 points and six assists were second on the team only to Jokic.
