Game 5 of NBA Finals 2023 could be Denver's crowning moment
The Denver Nuggets could realistically put an end to matters in Game 5. With a chance to close out the series at home, the Nuggets could make franchise history by winning their first NBA title.
The history certainly seems to support Denver in this case. With a 3-1 lead heading into the next game, the Nuggets have some of the best odds in NBA history. Only one team has ever made it back from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals.
While a comeback isn't out of the question for this Miami team, it does seem unlikely given the circumstances.
The pair of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray seem virtually unstoppable at this point in time. Considering that the next game is in the Mile High City, Miami will have a tough time getting acclimatizing to the altitude given the short turnaround time as well.
With a lot of factors favoring Denver, it is hard to imagine Jokic and the Nuggets losing the next game. With a legacy being built before our eyes, fans will look forward to seeing what this team can present in what poses to be a decisive Game 5.
