The first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs has already produced some thrilling moments, overtime clashes and big-time performances -- all of which serve as a good reminder of how small differences can decide best-of-seven series.
There's no better example of that than Aaron Gordon's buzzer-beating dunk to win Game 4 in the Denver Nuggets' hard-fought series against the LA Clippers. Slowed down to the frame level, it was as close as can be when the ball left Gordon's hands before the clock struck zero, potentially the difference in a series in which the Nuggets now have a 3-2 lead.
