A dunk spot is opening up for Aaron Gordon, I assume? If he says he wants in, he gets in.

Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon both sat the final three minutes of the 3rd quarter and the Wolves only won that stretch by one point.
Chris Finch on why they weren’t able to take advantage there: “We fouled, fouled, fouled, fouled. That didn’t give us much of a chance.” – 2:08 AM

Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon sat out the last 7 minutes of the 3rd Q with foul trouble. Wolves were up 6 at that time and going into the 4th are up 7.
Woulda been nice to get up 10+. We’ll see if this is enough, with both Jokic and Gordon likely to play the majority of the 4th. – 12:11 AM

That was a rough offensive half from the Nuggets, their worst in a while. Shooting just 2-11 from 3. Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon have only two points each. Jamal Murray’s shooting 3-9. – 11:23 PM

The Minnesota Timberwolves, who I’m told always get the short end of the whistle, have drawn three fouls on Jokic and Aaron Gordon in the first half. – 11:13 PM

More on this storyline
Harrison Wind: NBA +/- leaders: This is insane 1. Nikola Jokic +367 2. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope +352 3. Aaron Gordon +305 4. Jayson Tatum +302 5. Derrick White +260 -via Twitter @HarrisonWind / January 18, 2023
Of the 170 players who have played in multiple games and have defended at least 10.0 field goals per game, only five players have forced a lower differential than Gordon’s minus-7.5. “Since our win in Portland on December 8, I believe we’re maybe 14-3, we’re the No. 7 defense since that point in time,” Malone said before the wins against the Clippers and Magic. “Aaron obviously has been a big part of that. As has Jamal Murray, as has Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Nikola — everybody that goes out there.” -via The Athletic / January 17, 2023
