🏀 Aaron Gordon’s Buzzer-Beating Dunk Makes NBA Playoff History
Aaron Gordon just etched his name into playoff history — with authority. Gordon slammed home a buzzer-beating dunk to lift the Nuggets over the Clippers 101-99 in Game 4, tying the series 2-2. According to ESPN, it’s the first game-winning buzzer-beating dunk in NBA postseason history since play-by-play records began in 1997-98.
The wild sequence? Nikola Jokic air-balled a “Sombor Shuffle” three, Gordon snagged it mid-air, and stuffed it home with 0.1 seconds left — confirmed after a video review and a heated debate over possible goaltending.
Oh, and this came after the Clippers erased a 22-point lead and tensions flared between Gordon and Harden earlier in the game. Absolute chaos.
