The NBA Finals will begin next week, and the Minnesota Timberwolves’ first-round playoff opponent will be advancing to the biggest stage in basketball. In their 56-year history, the Denver Nuggets have never made an appearance in the Finals, but that will change soon.
After their sweep of the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, Denver gave themselves more than a week to rest before matching up with either the Celtics or Heat to determine a champion. Led by two-time MVP Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets are an incredibly compelling team with a high-powered offense. Basketball fans everywhere will be thrilled to watch them compete for a title.
