So th at’s what 0.1 seconds looks like.
The Denver Nuggets scraped past the Los Angeles Clippers to tie their first-round playoff series at two games apiece on a wild Aaron Gordon buzzer beating alley-oop that was as tight as you’ll ever see.
The Nuggets inbounded the ball to center Nikola Joki, who was guarded by Clippers center Ivica Zubac, with the game tied at 99 with just over six seconds left. Before launching a high-arching shot that sailed over the rim, Joki took several dribbles and spun out to the 3-point line. Gordon timed his jump perfectly to catch the errant shot before flushing it home just as time expired.
Denver’s players celebrated as the shot was ruled good, though the play immediately went to replay review. The process took several minutes, as officials examined the different angles of the play.
Replays showed that Gordon caught the ball with 0.2 seconds left and that it left his hands just before the red lights lit up behind the backboard as time expired.
