The Nuggets tied the series 2-2 vs. the Clippers in a thrilling 101-99 win that will always be remembered for one of the most stunning buzzer-beaters in NBA playoff history. With 1.7 seconds left, Nikola Jokic shot a fadeaway and Aaron Gordon caught the ball in the air to make a putback dunk as time expired.
The Clippers overcame a 22-point deficit when Bogdan Bogdanovic made an underneath basket with 1:11 left. Still, The Joker answered with three of his 36 points before Gordon made a miracle play.
