However, the Nuggets had Aaron Gordon saving the game — and perhaps their season. That theme about depth — the Clippers have it, the Nuggets do not — is going to be a main one the rest of this series.

I've watched a lot of Nuggets basketball over the last few years. I've seen this group led by three-time MVP Nikola Jokic at their lowest lows. The firing of their head coach and general manager right before the start of these NBA playoffs comes to mind most.

How confident were the Nuggets that Aaron Gordon’s dunk was out of his hands before the buzzer? Depends who you ask.
