Nobody could have predicted what Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon<\/a> would do in their season opener.<\/p>\n

Sure, the former fourth overall pick caught people’s attention when he shot a career-high 43.6% from 3 while taking 3.4 attempts 3-point attempts per game in the 2024-25 regular season. After all, he had only made 32.3% of his career 3s at that point. However, when he and the Nuggets faced the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco on Thursday, it’s as if he had channeled the powers of Stephen Curry<\/a> himself. While typically an interior scoring threat, his first seven shots of the game all came from the 90210.<\/p>\n

He made all of them.<\/p>\n

Aaron Gordon Has Perfect Postgame Reaction After 50 Point Night<\/h2>\n

By the time Gordon hit his seventh straight three, everyone knew they were in for a special night. Again, his performance was entirely unprecedented. Entering the season, his single-game career-high in made 3s was 7, which he notched against the Phoenix Suns on March 7, 2025<\/a>. In just under 39 minutes, he went 7-10 from 3-point range, finishing with 27 points.<\/p>\n

Three minutes into the third quarter, Gordon walked into his eighth 3-pointer<\/a>, marking a career-high. The Nuggets went up 79-68, and all the Warriors could do was accept what was happening. Like clockwork, Gordon converted his ninth 3-pointer three minutes into fourth quarter, bringing him up to 37 points. In a two-minute stretch, he was the only player Denver had that could score, breaking his single-game career-high with 42 points after an and-one free-throw. The Nuggets were up 109-100.<\/p>\n
