OKLAHOMA CITY — Aaron Gordon will always answer a teammate’s phone call.

He is typically the team’s unsung hero, but Aaron Gordon was the Denver Nuggets’ savior in Game 1 against the Oklahoma City Thunder with his second game-winner of the playoffs. However, he immediately reverted to the father figure he is to his nephews backstage.

Nikola Jokić was absolutely incredible in the series opener against the Thunder and put up 42 points on 15-of-29 shooting and 22 rebounds. He absolutely feasted on Oklahoma City's double big rotation of Isaiah Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren and drew 10 fouls on them collectively.
