Aaron Gordon was the hero for the Nuggets, grabbing a Nikola Jokic heave at the buzzer and finishing with a dunk as time expired. After the game, Jokic said he wanted to take the last shot and didn't want to the Clippers any time.

The Clippers are suffocating Nikola Jokic’s paint. Is it a sustainable strategy for the Nuggets to keep relying on role players like Russell Westbrook to score? Do they have a choice?

Jokić tallied a triple-double, but he had seven turnovers and a couple mental miscues late as LA evened the series at one win apiece.
