I’m going to admit I have not yet seen the full game, but I caught the last few minutes and appreciated just tight this one was. Quite possibly could have gone to a Game 6 back in Miami which would have opened up the whole “look what happened to the Boston Celtics” conversation.
Alas, it wasn’t to be, and Denver has won their first title in their 48 year history with the NBA. The Nuggets last Finals appearance was in the ABA in its final season.
Nikola Jokic was crowned NBA Finals MVP which should come as no surprise considering his two regular season MVPs.
