The next 48 minutes of the NBA Finals could be the last of the season. If the Denver Nuggets win, it's over. Colorado beat the Miami Heat 108-95 in Game 4 of the series and is just one win away from becoming NBA champions. Should they do so, it would be their first championship title in the 47 years they have been playing in the best basketball league in the world. They will have the opportunity to do so on their home court and in front of their fans.

Once again Nikola Jokić was pivotal for Michael Malone's franchise, as he has been throughout the playoffs. The Serbian basketball player didn't give the Heat a chance with his double-double (23 points and 12 rebounds plus 4 assists). He is, without a doubt, the best center in the world.
However, Jokić was not the only one who stood out. Jamal Murray recorded a big double-double (15 points and 12 assists) and Aaron Gordon, who was the team's top scorer (27 points), was named MVP of the game and contributed to the Nuggets' victory. Bruce Brown Jr. wasn't a starter but finished the game with 21 points.
For Miami, Bam Adebayo's double-double (20 points and 11 rebounds) and Jimmy Butler's scoring contribution (25 points) were outstanding. Lowry, Martin, Robinson and Love all crossed the 10-point barrier.
The next game, which could be the last, will be played on Monday at Ball Arena in Denver.
BRACKET UPDATE 🗣
Denver is one win away from the first championship in the franchise's history!
