“From Underdog to Unbelievable: The Craziest Endings in Sports History”
Yet, after the Clippers tied the game on an Ivica Zubav tip-in, the best thing Jokic did on the next possession was miss so badly that his teammate had a chance to clean up his misfire. Aaron Gordon was in the perfect position for a putback dunk to secure the victory.
It’s the kind of moment athletes dream about all the time. A game-winning shot in a playoff game. It should have meant instant euphoria as the entire Nuggets roster sprinted on the floor.
But that’s not what happened. Gordon reacted happily, but then had to subdue himself somewhat, because the play went to replay and was close enough that it was plausible his shot would be ruled no good and the game would go to overtime. It’s true that they review every made shot close to the buzzer, but usually it can be decided quickly whether a shot was good or not. That wasn’t the case here.
