NBA FINALS

Nuggets make franchise history

The Denver Nuggets won the NBA Championship for the first time in franchise history when they beat the Heat in Game 5 on Monday night.

The Denver Nuggets made their first ever NBA Championship on Monday night when they beat the Miami Heat to win the series 4-1 in Game 5. The Nuggets not only never won a championship title, but they’d never even made it to the NBA Finals before this year. The closest they’d gotten was the Western Conference Finals in 1978. 1985, 2009, and 202.
