The Denver Nuggets made history by sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference finals to advance to their first-ever NBA Finals. Despite their dominant regular season performance, the Nuggets were not considered favorites to reach the championship round. The Lakers fought to keep their season alive but ultimately fell short.
After the final buzzer, some of Denver's players appeared amazed by their accomplishment. The Nuggets secured their spot in the NBA Finals with a 113-111 victory over the Lakers in Game 4 of the series.
Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets' center, was named the Most Valuable Player of the Western Conference finals. He had an impressive performance in the decisive game, contributing 30 points, 14 rebounds, and 13 assists. Jokic's skills and ability to make difficult shots left even LeBron James, the Lakers' star forward, in awe. James acknowledged Jokic's remarkable abilities and expressed his admiration.
Now, the Nuggets await the winner of the Eastern Conference finals, where the Miami Heat hold a 3-0 series lead over the Boston Celtics. The NBA Finals will mark a significant milestone for the Nuggets franchise as they strive to compete for their first championship title.
