Franchise history has been made 🏀
Good morning. Congratulations are in order!
Since 1947, the NBA Finals have captured arenas, hearts, and televisions across the nation. And now, 47 years after joining the NBA, the Denver Nuggets have won their first Championship trophy in franchise history!
The Nuggets clinched the NBA title against the Miami Heat in Game 5 (94-89), while playing at home in Denver. They completed the playoff season with a 16-4 record, including 10-1 in their final 11 games.
Regardless of your team, the crowning of a new champion is always exciting! Congrats to the Denver Nuggets!
Enjoy your week, folks!
