Notable Stats Reveal How Aaron Gordon Has Been Clutch In Playoffs


 

Aaron Gordon of the Denver Nuggets has been having an incredible run in the playoffs.

On Friday night, he helped his team reach overtime and then score a gigantic victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

But that wasn’t the first time Gordon produced a big clutch moment for his Nuggets.

According to Bleacher Report, he has done it three times.

In Game 4 against the Los Angeles Clippers, Gordon scored a game-winning dunk tip.

Then, in Game 1 against the Thunder came Gordon’s iconic game-winning three-pointer.

He did it again on Friday with his game-tying three to force overtime, and he might have more in store.

Gordon wasn’t always seen as a clutch performer.

When he was first signed by the Nuggets, he was viewed as a bigger brute force who could work well in alley-oops and clog up the paint.

He can do that, and he has for years, but his shooting has greatly improved recently.

He has hit a career high with his three-pointers, and these playoffs are proof of that.

This is great news for the Nuggets, because most people assume the team lives and dies depending on how well Nikola Jokic does.

Earlier this season, fans were worried about Denver because it felt like Jokic was the only consistent player on the roster.

Things have changed in a short amount of time, and now Gordon has become one of the most important members of the Nuggets.

He has been playing well from the beginning to the end of games, but his clutch performances have been the most incredible part of this playoff run.
