In a previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder at home with a three-pointer of Aaron Gordon, achieving a good start in the series. After this game, the Nuggets also widened the total score of the series to 1-0, and they also regained the home advantage in this round of the series.

In this game, the Nuggets' starting lineman Aaron Gordon's performance remained at an incredible super high level. Gordon played 39 minutes and 03 seconds in the game, made 7 of 15 shots, 3 of 6 from outside the three-point line, and 5 of 5 free throws, and scored a double-double with 22 points, 14 rebounds and 1 assist. It also included 7 frontcourt rebounds, 1 turnover and 2 fouls, and the plus and negative value also reached the highest number of +16 in the team's highest number of the game. Gordon once again defeated all the people on the offensive end. He won a lot of opportunities through his own frontcourt rebounds, and he also showed quite good scoring ability at the basket. Gordon felt quite good outside the three-point line, and he also withstood the pressure at the last moment of the game and hit a key three-pointer. Gordon's performance on both offense and defense is excellent, and his effect on the court is obvious to all, which can also be reflected in his super high positive and negative values. There is no doubt that Gordon's outstanding performance on both offense and defense is also a key factor in the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Gordon played 51 games in 82 games, averaging 28.4 minutes per game, averaging 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 1.6 fouls, shooting percentage of 53.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 43.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 81%. So far in the playoffs, Gordon averaged 38.9 minutes in his first eight games, with averaging 19.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers and 2.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50.9%, three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 88.9%.

Godden's performance during the playoffs can be said to have made a qualitative leap, and he took on a lot of responsibilities on both sides of the offense and defense. In the first round of the series against the Los Angeles Clippers, the opponent was completely unstoppable to Gordon. Gordon has performed well on both offense and defense, and he has saved the team at critical moments many times. It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for Gordon's outstanding performance, the Nuggets might not have been able to successfully reach the Western Conference semi-finals. In this round of the series, it seems that Gordon's performance can still be maintained at an extremely high level, and he is still a point that the opponent has difficulty defending. I have to say that Gordon is really the second leader of the Nuggets during the playoffs. It is amazing to be able to perform such a strong performance and play such a role.
