Gordon, who signed a four-year, $133 million contract extension with the Nuggets before the season, missed nine games due to a right calf strain, returned to the court today, and played 18 minutes and 22 seconds off the bench with playing time restrictions, shooting 6-of-7 from the field, including 1 three-pointer, and efficiently cutting 13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block, with a plus/minus of +23 which is the second highest on the team.
The Nuggets fell behind by 19 points in the third quarter and were still 10 points apart at the end of the third quarter, but the Denver Army launched a counterattack in the final quarter, playing a 33-12 furious offensive to turn the situation around and stage a beautiful comeback victory. Westbrook chipped up 21 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, and Jokic had a near-triple-double of 19 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists.
In his post-match interview, Gordon praised the team's performance, "I think everybody contributed to the win, it's a team win. On starting from the bench, Gordon said: "I don't care if I play as a starter or as a substitute, it doesn't matter to me, as long as I can help the team and contribute to the team's winnings. ”
