The Nuggets are only one win away from their first NBA championship after beating the Miami Heat in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday.
We’re looking at a completely different series today than we were looking at earlier this week when the series was tied 1-1. Denver had just let go of the rope in the 4th quarter of Game 2 and allowed the Heat to come back and completely dominate the end of the game.

At that point, the series totally felt like it could be up in the air. But right now? It’s all Denver. The team is so close and the fans can absolutely feel it.
They let us all know after Game 4 when they busted out in “Nuggets in 5” chants after the game.

And, as Heat fans were filing out of the arena, there were also “Let’s go Nuggets” chants echoing throughout the building.

Nuggets fans are ready for a championship. It’s right there. The team has to get one more win to make it happen and they’ll get a chance to on Monday at home in Ball Arena in front of some of these same fans.
I can only imagine the reactions that we’ll see then if it actually happens.
