With a 125-100 Game 6 win in Phoenix to snap the series-long streak of home team triumphs, the Denver Nuggets advanced to the Western Conference Finals for the second time in the last four seasons and fifth time in franchise history.
The Nuggets have never reached the NBA Finals. Their newest chance to become the most accomplished team of their 47 years in the league starts Tuesday with Game 1 at Ball Arena. Their challenger: the No. 6 seed Golden State Warriors or No. 7 seed Los Angeles Lakers. Steph Curry or LeBron James. This era’s winningest team or the West’s all-time winningest team.
