That is how Aaron Gordon reacted to Nikola Jokic fouling out in the third period for the first time in his career. That it came in Game 2 of the second round against the top-seeded Thunder made it even more exasperating.

Gordon doesn't like the way Oklahoma City is being allowed to rough up the Nuggets, especially their star center.

Nikola Jokic is also an all-time great, but he led the Denver Nuggets to their first title in 2023, taking home Finals MVP honors. The Nuggets' less-decorated players are doing all they can to get them to the top of the NBA mountain.
