Aaron Gordon has slayed more heavyweights than Joe Louis, more wizards than Voldemort, more dragons than Euron Greyjoy.
The last time Kevin Durant missed at least nine three-point attempts in the NBA Playoffs was five Aprils ago. The number of times KD had misfired 10 times from 3-point land in a postseason game before Gordon and the Nuggets put down the clamps in Game 2? Zero.
“There were a few possessions when I’m watching that film (Tuesday) and I freeze it and you have Bruce (Brown) and Aaron Gordon — I mean, I’m gonna frame it and put it in my house,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone gushed Wednesday at Ball Arena before the team flew to Phoenix for Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinal series with the Suns.
