The NBA Playoffs are a cauldron of intensity and emotions. With the stakes sky-high, even the smallest slights can spark something bigger. Tonight, in Game 4 between the LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets, tensions finally boiled over. At the heart of it? Aaron Gordon — the Nuggets’ MVP of the night — who didn’t just let his game do the talking. He had plenty to say about the near-brawl that almost erupted.
It all began when James Harden got annoyed after the Nuggets’ Christian Braun fouled him. Of course, no one enjoys an arm to the face, and Harden started to jaw at Braun. Soon, Nikola Jokic got involved, and so did Aaron Gordon, who got shoved by Harden.
This escalation took things to another level, with Ivica Zubac stepping in to physically hold Gordon back from going at James. After the game, when a reporter asked Gordon about his heated actions, he didn’t hesitate — laying out exactly why he reacted the way he did.
