Behind a monster fourth quarter by Reggie Jackson, the Paul George-less Los Angeles Clippers defeated Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night.

The Clippers mounted an incredible comeback in the final 18 minutes to defeat the Nuggets, 87-85. One of the plays that was a momentum-building play for LA was a nasty dunk by Reggie Jackson.

Down 79-76 with 4:17 left in the fourth quarter, Jackson came out of a timeout, drove hard to the basket, and elevated to throw down a monster poster on the league's reigning MVP, Nikola Jokic:

The dunk was part of a 32-19 fourth quarter that saw the Clippers come back from down 25 points with seven minutes remaining in the third quarter. According to The Analyst, the Clippers are the only NBA team in the last 20 years to come back from a 25+ point deficit and still win despite not even scoring 90 points:

Reggie Jackson scored 11 points in the fourth quarter on 4-of-6 shooting, coming up clutch when his team needed him most. After the big performance, Jackson celebrated with some of his friends sitting on the baseline:

Clippers star Paul George, who wasn't in attendance for this game, took to Instagram to let everybody know how he felt about his best friend's big fourth quarter:

Reggie Jackson says he isn't sure if the dunk is his favorite, but says it's definitely up there among his top career dunks.

ā€œI don't know if it's my favorite ever, but it definitely, it's definitely up there,ā€ Jackson said. ā€œEspecially I can say with the moment, everything kind of came together at once so, when that happened, yeah, I could feel my teammates even more confident, so, yeah, it's up there. When I look back at it, it's gonna be up there. And I'm not gonna lie, he is the former MVP right now, the reigning MVP feels a lot better to get a big play, a big dunk and then find a way to get the win. I don't want to say it's No. 1, but when I look back on it, it might be. So I just don't want to put that out there yet. But, yeah, I'm happy to get one, I dunk in game-changing moments, hopefully. I try to save my legs being at 31, I'm 32 now.ā€

The win moved the Clippers to 21-21 on the season.
