Nikola Jokic leads Nuggets to Western Conference finals, but needs support from Murray.

The Denver Nuggets advanced to the Western Conference finals after defeating the Phoenix Suns 125-100 in Game 6, with Nikola Jokic leading the way with his third triple-double in four games. The Nuggets will face either the Golden State Warriors or the Los Angeles Lakers in the next round. Despite being the top seed in the West, the Nuggets have flown under the radar and will be seeking payback against either team, as they lost to the Lakers in the 2020 Western Conference finals and were eliminated by the Warriors in the first round last postseason.
