Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets fans came to see two-time defending MVP Nikola Jokić and stayed to watch the team work in perfect harmony to extinguish the Phoenix Suns. After Aaron Gordon blocks a shot on one end of the floor and Michael Porter Jr. corrals it, Gordon straddles the out of bounds line to keep the play alive with a cross-court touch pass that the Joker hauls in in between two defenders. Jokić rewards Gordon’s hustle by finding him underneath for a reverse layup, and Gordon’s huge night of 28 points and 13 rebounds helped the Nuggets prevail 128-125 in overtime on December 25, 2022.
