The Nuggets posted a 42-40 record and made the playoffs for the first time in 4 years. The Nuggets qualified for the playoffs as the 8th seed. The first round saw the Nuggets matched up with the Seattle Supersonics. The Sonics had posted a league best 63-19 record. The Nuggets lost the first two games of the series. Upon arriving in Denver, the Nuggets used the shot blocking presence of Dikembe Mutombo to match up with the Sonics. Along with career performances by Reggie Williams, Brian Williams, and Robert Pack, the Nuggets evened the series. The series went back to Seattle for the 5th game. The Nuggets rallied to tie the game and force overtime. The Nuggets would emerge with a 1-point victory and became the first 8th seeded team to beat a # 1 seed. To punctuate the win, Mutombo was on his back holding the ball and smiling after the buzzer. In the second round, the Nuggets dropped their first 3 games to the Utah Jazz. Despite the threat of elimination, the Nuggets would rally to win the next 3 games and force a 7th game. The postseason run would end as they lost 91-81.[1]
