Quiet Series for Aaron Gordon
Aaron Gordon scored 28 points against the Golden State Warriors this season.
Let me be a little more specific: Aaron Gorden scored 28 points over the course of three games against the Golden State Warriors this season.
Aaron Gordon has had a pretty good season as the de facto second option in Denver — after injuries to the first two second options. Gordon has averaged 15 points per game this year, higher than his career average. Boasting career high efficiency, Gordon’s 60.2% true shooting percentage is a top-40 mark in the league.
In Gordon’s last game against the Warriors, a Denver Nuggets loss on March 10th, the forward shot just 2-11, with a 1-7 mark in the paint alone. Gordon found himself in deep post position often on switches, but couldn’t over-power Klay Thompson in the post.

When he had Curry on him, Gordon still struggled to score as the Warriors were quick to send help and disrupt a shot attempt.
Gordon’s game is predicated on scoring around the rim and using strength and size to do so. The Warriors are such a cohesive defensive team that they’ll be able to throw Gordon off, as they’ve managed to all year.
