As they have all season long, the Nuggets followed the two-time MVP’s lead with all-business looks on their faces. The Nuggets are on a mission to win their first-ever NBA championship and are halfway there after eliminating the Suns with a 125-100 win in Game 6.
“We weren’t satisfied winning the first round,” Denver head coach Michael Malone said of beating Minnesota in five games. “We’re not satisfied now.
“… We’re not celebrating and popping champagne and throwing water over each other because our goal wasn’t to get to the Western Conference finals. I keep saying our goal is to win a championship, so we have much more work to do.”
