Quotes
"To be a playoff team six years in a row, that's sustained success, which is what you all strive for," Nuggets coach Michael Malone said after his side secured a spot in the NBA playoffs with a win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on 31 March.
"But as I told our players, like, that's cool. Six years in a row, but that wasn't our goal this year to make the playoffs. We have a bull's eye on our backs. We are the reigning World Champs.
"So, that's what our goal is—to repeat—and it's going to be a hell of a challenge. But we're all signed up for that."
