The Denver Nuggets’ commanding 104-93 victory in Game 1 of the NBA Finals puts the Miami Heat in an unfamiliar situation. For the first time all playoffs, the Eastern Conference underdogs will have to come from behind to win a playoffs series.

Though the Nuggets played solidly to kick off the Finals, the Heat’s loss was also self-inflicted to an extent, as the team shot poorly throughout the contest. Star forward Jimmy Butler, who has carried the team throughout the postseason...

For the second time in as many seasons, Denver Nuggets C Nikola Jokic will be the NBA MVP, reports say. If true, which early votes seem to indicate, Jokic will edge out Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid and Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo for the hardware. An official announcement is expected Wednesday. There’s sure to be more arguments than usual over the decision, as a strong case could be made for any of the three. Jokic averaged 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 7.9 assists while shooting 58.3% from the field for the 48-win Nuggets. For comparison’s sake, the 76ers were 51-31, played a season wit...
