The season culminated in a win in the NBA Finals, their first title in franchise history, including their time in the ABA.
On June 12, 2023, Denver won their first championship in franchise history after a 94–89 win against the Miami Heat, defeating them in 5 games.
They joined the San Antonio Spurs as the only former ABA franchises to win a championship in the NBA, although neither team had won a title in the old league.
A second-round pick Denver traded to the Miami Heat would later be forfeited by them after they violated tampering rules with free agency the previous season.
