The Denver Nuggets clinched their first NBA title in 47 seasons on Monday after defeating the Miami Heat 94-89 behind 28 points and 16 rebounds from Nikola Jokic.
The Nuggets won the best-of-seven NBA Finals 4-1 to bring the Mile High City an NBA crown as a sellout crowd roared in delight while delivering Miami’s third finals loss in 10 seasons.
The championship filled the final gap in the impressive resume of Serbian star Jokic, a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player and five-time All-Star center in his eighth NBA campaign.
