Aaron Gordon, a former top-five draft pick, spent most of his career in anonymity. He was traded to the Denver Nuggets in 2021, but Jamal Murray’s knee injury delayed Gordon’s first deep postseason run. However, after nine years of patience, Gordon’s skills finally shined in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, as he scored a postseason career-high of 27 points and added seven rebounds and six assists to lift the Nuggets to a 3-1 series lead. Even with Nikola Jokic’s ankle injury and foul trouble and Murray’s struggles, Gordon stepped up to score important layups and hit two three-pointers. Denver can clinch its first NBA championship in Game 5 at Ball Arena. Denver’s balanced attack has been key, and Gordon’s exceptional performance was a reminder of his Orlando days as a go-to scorer and lead playmaker. Denver’s supporting cast helped close out the hard-fought win, and Jokic expressed excitement as the Nuggets only need one more win. Miami’s long-shot upset bid is hanging by a thread, with its sources of reliable offense dwindling. Denver’s strong defense and hard-nosed play from Gordon and Bruce Brown helped seal the win.
