Aaron Gordon had 24 points (9-of-16 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer against the Heat on Wednesday.
Gordon dropped 50 points in the Nuggets’ season-opening overtime loss to the Warriors. The 30-year-old power forward failed to record even 20 points in the next four games, but has now bounced back with at least 20 points in the last two games. Gordon’s shooting seems to be improved this season and the Nuggets are in no position to curb his usage on offense this year.
