The Nuggets eased through the first round, beating Minnesota 4-1, before battling past Phoenix, 4-2, in the conference semi-finals.

The series with the Suns went with the home team until the Nuggets won 125-100 on the road in Game 6 to clinch.

The Nuggets opened with a 132-126 victory over the Lakers, and then followed that up with a 108-103 success.

They then moved within one win of a place in the NBA Finals by winning 119-108 in Los Angeles in Game 3.
