The Denver Nuggets kept their NBA playoff hopes alive with a crucial 125-113 home victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, narrowing the series deficit to 3-2. However, the team wasn't the only one celebrating a highlight-reel moment.
Rocky, the Nuggets' beloved mascot since his 1990 debut, added another spectacular backward shot to his extensive repertoire of acrobatic feats during last night's game.
The mascot ascended a ladder placed at mid-court, then added another ladder on top, reaching a dizzying height of over thirty feet. With his back to the basket, and after a few attempts, Rocky finally sank a shot, sending the Ball Arena crowd in Denver into a frenzy.
Rocky needed a few tries, but when he finally nailed the shot, the arena erupted in jubilation.
