The Denver Nuggets are headed back to the postseason after a six-year drought.

The Nuggets won 46 games last season, but missed the playoffs after losing in overtime to Minnesota on the final day of the regular season. This season their 47th victory proved to be their charm.

„It’s a great feeling,“ Denver coach Michael Malone said. „Four years in the making. Two years in a row coming up just shy, one game short. Using that as a motivation for tonight’s moment.“

Smiles were everywhere in the Nuggets locker room afterward.
