Nikola Jokić scored 32 points in another triple-double and Jamal Murray added 26 as the Denver Nuggets beat the short-handed Phoenix Suns 125-100 in Game 6 on Thursday night, advancing the team to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2020.
Denver’s series victory comes two seasons after the Nuggets were embarrassed in a second-round postseason sweep by the Suns.
This time, it was the Suns getting blown out on their home floor to end the season for the second straight year. The Nuggets will play in the conference finals for the first time since they lost to the Lakers in five games in the Florida bubble during the COVID-19 pandemic.
They have never reached the NBA Finals. The top-seeded Nuggets used a 23-2 run during the latter part of the first quarter to take a 44-26 lead and never looked back.
