Denver Nuggets big man Aaron Gordon threw down a wild dunk on a lob from Jamal Murry in their season-opening win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.
Midway through the third quarter of the matchup at Ball Arena in Denver, Murray caught a pass on the left wing during a fast break. After one dribble, he lobbed the ball up for Gordon — who caught it with one hand and threw it down over LeBron James.Immediately, James knew something was off. He started motioning to officials looking for a call, but it never came. Play continued on as if nothing had happened.
A closer look at the dunk, however, clearly showed that Gordon’s right hand had grabbed the rim ahead of time.That’s a clear violation, as a player can’t “assist himself in an attempt to score by using any part of the rim … to lift, hold or raise himself.”In the end, the missed call didn't matter much. The Nuggets held on after the Lakers mounted a bit of a push in the fourth quarter and cruised to the 119-107 win, which.
James dropped 21 points and eight rebounds in the loss for the Lakers, who opened last season losing five straight and 10 of their first 12 games. Taurean Prince added 18 points, and Anthony Davis finished with 17 points and eight rebounds.Road closed due to construction work on Nira St both ways between FL-13 Hendricks Ave and Flagler Ave.
