BREAKING: Nikola Jokic led the Denver Nuggets to their first championship in franchise history after defeating the Miami Heat in the 2023 NBA Finals.
Following a Miami timeout, Butler’s contested turnaround three was off the mark. Brown grabbed the rebound and hit both free throws with 14.1 seconds left to seal it.
Prior to this season, the Nuggets’ greatest postseason accomplishment since joining the NBA was becoming the first No. 8 seed to upset a No. 1 seed when they stunned the Seattle SuperSonics in the first round of the 1994 playoffs -- fitting considering the top-seeded Nuggets were playing the eighth-seeded Heat in the Finals.
There they overpowered the Heat, who like those before them, had no answer for the unicorn that is Nikola Jokic.
