Gordon's dunk beat the red light by a split-second
The incredible first-round series between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers reached a new height on Saturday evening with one of the most stunning endings to a game you will ever see. Aaron Gordon played hero with a buzzer-beating dunk to give the Nuggets a series-tying 101-99 victory. It was the first game-winning buzzer-beating dunk in NBA postseason history.
"In the NBA it's really true, you talk about this all season long, it's situational basketball," Nuggets interim coach David Adelman said after the win. "When the shot goes up, there's no reason not to crash, so it was good to see our guys do that. You could say it's a lucky play, but Aaron is -- that's a big, athletic man and he met the ball early."
The Nuggets led by as many as 22 early in the fourth quarter, but the Clippers responded with an extended 32-9 run to go in front for the first time all game on a Bogdan Bogdanovic putback with 1:11 remaining.
