Aaron Gordon did nothing but earn 50s all Dunk Contest long. Then, he dunked over Tacko Fall to cinch things, and instead watched some more hardware get stolen from him.
It's sad, it's nonsensical, and it's time to laugh, basically, because there's nothing else left to do.
First of all, how hard did D-Wade have to work to justify that final nine?
