The Nuggets are on the brink of making history.
After emerging victorious on the road in Games 3 and 4, they find themselves one win away from their first-ever NBA title. They would love nothing more than to clinch it in front of their home fans in Game 5.
Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray have continued their stellar play, combining to average 54 points per game between them so far in this series. If the duo continues to light it up, it will make it extremely difficult for the Heat to battle back.
For Miami, it is truly now or never. They face a daunting 3-1 series deficit, which only one team has ever come back from before in the NBA Finals. Jimmy Butler and company have defied all the odds so far this postseason, but now they have to pull off their most improbable upset yet if they want to take home the championship.
When will the Nuggets get their next chance to close things out? Here is everything you need to know ahead of Game 5 of the NBA Finals series:
