The Denver Nuggets bench exploded when Aaron Gordon went on for the spectacular ‘slam dunk’ during their game against the Boston Celtics. And his teammates, especially DeAndre Jordan loved it, which was captured all in the camera.

After Aaron Gordan executed a rebound dunk, who is known for such stunts, the home arena for the Denver Nuggets erupted with fans and even teammates going crazy at the incredible execution during the game. As the home side got their win by 115-109, it was quite a win for the defending champions, given their goals season to bring the title back home again.

But last night it was all about Gordon who couldn’t stay away from the media, sought after that filthy dunk over the Boston Celtics, in what was a game of 4 halves, each fighting for their big aim this season.

As the Boston Celtics, who look like the favorite to reach the final, have been halted a few times this season like the last game, they hope that the media pressure doesn’t affect or bring hindrances to their performance.

Aaron Gordon and Nuggets cruise past Celtics

It was a night of joy for the Denver Nuggets and Aaron Gordan who were successful in a win over the Eastern Conference leaders Boston Celtics by a scoreline of 115-109.

Aaron Gordan, who contributed 16 points, 9 rebounds, and 1 assist was a key figure in their win as their title defense stays strong. And the ‘Joker’, Nikola Jokic, was at his best again, getting another triple-double as he continues his pursuit of the MVP award. With the fans left in awe, giving them the hope that there is a big chance the title could make its way back home again.

Whether they will be successful in doing it or not is a question to be answered by time and hopefully the city of Denver will reminisce the glory from last year this season as well.
