At the end of a hard-fought and tense game-5 to the end, the Denver Nuggets are NBA champions for the 2022-23 NBA season. Miami remains ahead for a long time taking advantage of the bad percentages of the hosts (5/28 from three), but in the second half Denver finds enough baskets to put his head forward and also resist a 13-point outburst in a row by Jimmy Butler, overtaking with 91 seconds left with Bruce Brown and holding on defense until the win.
The title of MVP named after Bill Russell can only end up in the hands of Nikola Jokic, the first player to lead the entire playoffs for points, rebounds and assists in NBA history.
