Denver Nuggets currently hold the top seed in the Western Conference following their victory over the Miami Heat

After four months of looking up at other teams in the Western Conference, the Denver Nuggets are the number one seed in the conference.

Michael Porter Jr. scored 25 points, Aaron Gordon added 16, and the reining NBA Champion Denver Nuggets took down the Miami Heat 100-88 in a Finals rematch.

“If you are going to be a team with a deep playoff run, you have to have depth,” Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said. “You are not going to win with one player.”
