It wasn't a game-winner, but Gordon planted the seeds to see the Thunder get called for more fouls with their physical brand of defense. He complained they got away with fouls Nikola Jokic — who, funnily enough, fouled out before the third quarter was even over as OKC doubled Denver on the scoreboard.

That is how Aaron Gordon reacted to Nikola Jokic fouling out in the third period for the first time in his career. That it came in Game 2 of the second round against the top-seeded Thunder made it even more exasperating.
