Denver Nuggets secure the win; The team has officially won its first championship

DENVER, Colo. (KRDO) - After a neck-to-neck game, the Denver Nuggets come out on top and win the NBA Finals - a franchise first.

After Friday's win, the Nuggets are up three wins with Miami having one win under their belt. In a post-game press conference ahead of Monday's game, coach Michael Malone said there was nothing to celebrate yet - they still had one more game to win.

Bruce Brown Jr., number 11, echoed that sentiment.

"We know we're playing against a great team. Obviously, they've been down for the whole year and they made it this far for a reason. So we just got to be focused, bring energy," said Brown.

"It's going to be a job that we need to do to be done. You know, I think we're ready. We're going to be locked in and ready to go and just going to be a game that we need to win," said player Nikola Jokić.

And ready they were - especially Jokić. He was named the NBA Finals MVP.

Game coverage began at 6 p.m. with tip-off at 6:30 p.m. only on KRDO13. Stay with KRDO for a special post-game coverage show following the celebration inside Ball Arena.
