Nuggets clinch second-consecutive Northwest Division title

With all of the growth and success the Nuggets have achieved over the past two seasons, it’s easy to take a Northwest Division title for granted. Michael Malone, however, does not.

“I feel that we have the toughest, deepest division in all the NBA and to be able to have back-to-back division championships is something we're proud of,” the Nuggets head coach said prior to the Nuggets’ 124-121 loss to the Lakers Monday. “To do it in a very deep and talented division with a young roster and all of the things we had to deal with this year, I think our players deserve a tremendous amount of respect.
