Aaron Gordon scored a career playoff high 27 points in an all-out attack on the Miami Heat on Friday that helped push the Denver Nuggets to the brink of their first NBA championship. Gordon led all scorers in the Nuggets' 108-95 victory over the Heat in Miami that put Denver up 3-1 in the best-of-seven NBA Finals. The player once known for his dunking prowess — including runner-up finishes in the 2016 and 2020 All-Star weekend slam-dunk contests — showed just how versatile he has become as he connected on 11 of 15 shots from the field — including three of four from three-point range.
