The momentum lies with the Denver Nuggets after a dominant 131-115 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday. The Nuggets, who escaped Game 4 with a win thanks to a buzzer-beating dunk from Aaron Gordon, made it a 3-2 series with Tuesday's win.

Even with Nikola Jokic submitting a pedestrian scoring night in Game 5, t Nuggets still beat the L.A. Clippers.

The Nuggets got the ball to Nikola Jokic, who took a Dirk Nowitzki-esque step-back fading three-pointer. It was off the mark, but forward Aaron Gordon, who worked his way into position for the offensive rebound, was able to catch Gordon's miss and slam it home for the win as time expired.
