The contrasting strategies of the last two NBA champions highlight their unique strengths. The Boston Celtics lead the league with an unprecedented 50.2 three-point attempts per game, a stark contrast to the Denver Nuggets' focus on interior scoring, averaging 58.8 points in the paint.

As both teams prepare to clash, the Celtics capitalized on their shooting prowess, while the Nuggets rely heavily on Nikola Jokic's playmaking and their fast-break offense. With the Celtics' ability to generate open looks from beyond the arc, the Nuggets face a significant challenge on the defensive end.
