The Denver Nuggets have done it. They have won an NBA championship for their first time in NBA history after winning 94-89 against the Heat in Game 5.
Nikola Jokic is the first player in NBA history to lead all players in points, rebounds and assists in a single postseason. His performances were outstanding.
Jimmy Butler, on the other hand, went missing in the contest and was on 2-12 until very late in the fourth quarter.
The best reactions to the game are below:
