Watch: Aaron Gordon dunks Nuggets to Game 5 lead

The Nuggets forward scored only six points in the first half, but he did it in style, scoring one dunk on a one-man fast break. He got another one off one of Nikola Jokic's eight first-half assists.

Gordon committed two fouls in the game's first four minutes, which relegated him to the bench for much of the first quarter. That foul trouble didn't seem to affect his aggressiveness, though. If anything, it increased it, as Gordon drew two charges on Karl-Anthony Towns and Naz Reid in the first minutes of the second quarter.

Did he slow down in the second half? Not at all. Gordon grabbed three offensive rebounds in a single offensive possession before scoring on a tip shot, then Jokic found him for, you guessed it, another dunk.

Gordon still hasn't scored more than a foot away from the basket, but if the Nuggets keep getting a dunk exhibition from him, they'll take it.
