Welp. What everyone feared after watching Damian Lillard go down with a non-contact injury on Sunday night has come to fruition. On Monday, it was confirmed that the Milwaukee Bucks star tore his Achilles, ending his season on a devastating note after he had already returned from a scary blood clot.

Gordon's putback dunk off Nikola Jokić's final shot didn't just tie the series with the Clippers. It validated Denver's effort in Game 4.

However, the Nuggets had Aaron Gordon saving the game — and perhaps their season. That theme about depth — the Clippers have it, the Nuggets do not — is going to be a main one the rest of this series.
