Aaron Gordon shocked the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night, slamming home a buzzer-beating dunk off a Nikola Jokic airball to pull the Denver Nuggets to 2-2 in the first-round playoff series. It was a shocking, exciting play that reminded fans how much fun the drama of the postseason can be. It was also history.

It was the dunk heard around the world as Denver forward Aaron Gordon got a quite literal last-second dunk to give the Nuggets a thrilling 101-99 victory and tie the playoff series up at 2-2. What's even more incredible is ESPN's Tim Bontemps reported that this is the very first game-winning, buzzer-beating dunk in NBA playoff history. Woah!

Gordon's putback dunk off Nikola Jokić's final shot didn't just tie the series with the Clippers. It validated Denver's effort in Game 4.
