Tied with the Los Angeles Clippers in the final seconds of regulation, the Denver Nuggets did exactly what everyone expected them to do—give the ball to Nikola Jokic so he could create something. And create he did, albeit in an unusual way as he tossed up an airball into the hands of Aaron Gordon who dunked it home to level their series with Los Angeles Clippers 2-2.
Lest there be any revisionist history, it was not a pass. Even though it ended up being the perfect pass. Jokic was shooting the basketball, and confirmed as much in the postgame when Gordon shouted him out for making a nice pass.
