The Denver Nuggets basketball players recorded an incredible victory in the fourth game of the series against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Colorado team celebrated with a score of 101-99, and despite Nikola Jokić’s brilliant performance, the glory was stolen by Aaron Gordon, who brought the triumph to his team with a dunk in the last tenth of a second of the game.
Denver won in a nail-biting finish! Jokić missed a three-pointer, but Gordon dunked for the win! The referees watched the replay and ultimately recognized the basket, so the Nuggets celebrated with 101-99.
Madness, madness, and more madness! This will be remembered for a long time.
Now we’ve seen it all! This was one of the craziest games in NBA league history! Well, suffice it to say that everyone stood on the court for 3-4 minutes waiting for the referees to decide who won…
Wow, what total madness!
Denver celebrated in Los Angeles against the Clippers with 101-99, thus tying the series at 2-2.
And what exactly happened?
Jokić’s team was leading by 22 points in the fourth quarter. Not enough! The Clippers made an incredible run and took the lead through Bogdanović with a minute left. Jokić then made one of two free throws, and we came down to the final possession. With the score tied at 99-99, Nikola missed the entire rim on a three-point shot, and Gordon caught the ball and dunked it. And that was as the buzzer sounded!
A situation for the annals because it happened literally in the millisecond when the buzzer went off. The referees watched the replay for several minutes and decided to award the points!
This photo speaks more than a thousand words:
The match was also marked by a brawl on the court after Harden expressed his dissatisfaction with a harsher foul. He wanted to take justice into his own hands, but the other players dissuaded him from that idea. Certainly – an ugly scene at the moment of the conflict.
Jokić played incredibly! The numbers are miraculous. Nikola scored 36 points with 21 rebounds and 8 assists. Serbia’s captain, Bogdan Bogdanović, got his chance at the beginning of the second quarter. He scored five points then, and added another two with 55 seconds left for his team’s aforementioned lead.
The next game between Denver and the LA Clippers is scheduled for the night between Tuesday and Wednesday at 4 AM local time.
The winner of this semifinal is already awaited by the Oklahoma team. They easily eliminated Memphis with a 4-0 series sweep.
AARON GORDON DUNK AT THE BUZZER FOR THE NUGGETS WIN!!! 🚨🚨
