Serbian star Nikola Jokić led the Nuggets to victory, garnering 28 points to end the his side’s 47-year wait for the championship trophy.

After a remarkable season, the 28-year-old Jokić was named the Finals’ Most Valuable Player. This is in addition to the two overall MVPs he won in 2021 and 2022.

“We’re not in it for ourselves, we’re in it for the guy next to us and that’s why this [means] even more,” Jokić said following the victory.

At the Ball Arena, Jokić also had 16 rebounds, while Michael Porter Jr scored 16 points and 13 rebounds.

On their march to the NBA title, the Denver Nuggets never lost more than twice in any of their play-off series. They concluded their move towards historic success with 10 victories in their last 11 post-season games.


At the commencement of the fourth quarter, Denver trailed 71-70, and 89-88 with just under two minutes remaining, but they battled it out to take the lead with a Bruce Brown lay-up.
