It all comes down to rest versus momentum.
Michael Malone’s number one-seeded Denver Nuggets tore through LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in a four-game Western Conference Championship sweep that concluded way back on Monday, May 22.
Now, starting Thursday, June 1 — ten days (!) after their last game — they’ll face off against the Eastern Conference’s over-performing underdog Miami Heat who routed the heavily favored Boston Celtics on their home court in a stunning game seven laugher.
What happens now?
Will Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray lead their Nuggets to the promised land in the franchise’s first-ever finals apperance?
Or can Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo bring the first title to Miami and coach Erik Spoelstra in a decade?
