Nuggets make history with sweep of Lakers, but work still ahead for Jokić and Murray.

The Denver Nuggets have advanced to their first NBA Finals in franchise history after beating the Los Angeles Lakers 113-111 in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals. The team, built around the talents of Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray, has played with grit and a chip on its collective shoulders throughout the postseason, proving skeptics wrong. Jokić has been dominant, averaging almost 28 points, 14.5 rebounds, and 11.8 assists in the conference finals. The Nuggets will likely face the Miami Heat in the finals, and they are four wins away from achieving their ultimate goal.
