The Los Angeles Lakers fell in four games to the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals before the Nuggets went on to make quick work of the Miami Heat in five games. Overall, the Nuggets went 16-4 en route to winning the organization’s first championship in what was truly a dominant postseason run.
While it was painful to see the Lakers lose, the Nuggets winning it all is a breath of fresh air. Parity in the NBA is great and it is always a good thing to see an elite player like Nikola Jokic get over the hump and prove all his naysayers (who are insane to begin with) wrong.
