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.

A dramatic, historic buzzer-beating dunk by Aaron Gordon sparked wild celebrations on Saturday night as the Denver Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Clippers 101-99 to tie their playoff first round series 2-2.

Aaron Gordon was sitting in the Denver Nuggets ' locker room with ice wrapped around his knees, watching the Golden State Warriors play the Houston Rockets, when something flashed across the screen: It was his face, with ABC announcing that Gordon had just made the first buzzer-beating dunk in playoff history.
