Aaron Gordon took to reporters to swear the first seed has gotten away with fouls, specifically against Nikola Jokic. Add him to the growing list of opposing coaches and players complaining about the Thunder's physical defense.

Gordon wasn't wrong about officials catching Jokić in the act. The Nuggets' big man fouled out of the contest in the third quarter, essentially ending any hope of a Denver comeback. Jokić finished the game with 17 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.
