The Denver Nuggets had a bizarre end to their 2024-25 season. After seemingly being locked into a Top 4 seed in the Western Conference, the Nuggets decided to make a massive change by firing both head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth. Denver was able to make it out of the first round in seven games against the Los Angeles Clippers, but unfortunately, saw their season come to an end in the second round against the Oklahoma City Thunder. In a battle between the two top MVP candidates, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder got the best of Denver in seven games and went on to win the NBA Finals.
