Besides being the Nuggets’ first NBA championship, the 2023 NBA Finals broke which historical record?
The Denver Nuggets play their home games at Ball Arena, 5,280 feet (1,609 meters) above sea level. This makes it the highest-altitude arena in the NBA and the highest venue for any major professional sports team in North America. The Miami Heat, who faced the Nuggets in the 2023 NBA finals, had to deal with thin air and low oxygen levels. The Nuggets won all three home games in the series, including the decisive Game 5 on June 12, 2023. They beat the Heat 94-89 to clinch their first-ever NBA title. Nuggets center Nikola Jokić was named the NBA Finals MVP after averaging 30.2 points, 14.0 rebounds, and 7.2 assists in the series.
