Denver Nuggets win first NBA title with 4-1 series win over Miami Heat

Nikola Jokic guided Denver Nuggets to its first-ever NBA title in history. The home side overcame dreadful shooting and a late flurry from Miami's Jimmy Butler to squeeze past the Heat for a frantic 94-89 victory in Game 5.

Jokic had 28 points and 16 rebounds for the Nuggets and earned NBA Finals MVP honours — a trophy certainly more meaningful to him than the two overall MVPs he won in 2021 and 2022.

He bailed out the Nuggets, going 12 for 16 from the floor on a night when none of his teammates could find the basket. Denver missed 20 of its first 22 3-point attempts and seven of its first 13 free throws, yet somehow found a way to close out the series on its home floor.
