Jokic, Aaron Gordon Lead Nuggets to Clutch Comeback Win | DNVR Nuggets Postgame Live

The DNVR Nuggets Podcast delivers an electrifying postgame breakdown of the Denver Nuggets' dramatic overtime victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, highlighting a stunning comeback from a 14-point deficit. Hosts Dev and Cal celebrate the team’s return to form, emphasizing the clutch performances of Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, and Cam Johnson, who all delivered in critical moments. Jokic posted a dominant 35-14-13 triple-double with 31 field goal attempts and 43 minutes of play, signaling his playoff readiness. Gordon hit three clutch threes, including a game-tying shot and a dagger in OT, while Cam Johnson emerged as a key bench sparkplug with 17 points, 7 assists, and a +25 plus-minus. The episode also praises head coach David Adelman’s strategic adjustments, particularly in managing player minutes and trusting role players like Julian Strother and Big Val. The Nuggets’ defensive struggles—especially allowing a franchise-record 25 three-pointers—were acknowledged, but the team’s resilience, execution in the final minutes, and emotional rebound from a season of disappointment are framed as signs of a championship-caliber team. The hosts express renewed belief in the Nuggets, calling them 'so back' and confident heading into the playoffs.
