On May 7, 1994, the Denver Nuggets stunned the basketball world by becoming the first 8th seed in NBA history to defeat a No. 1 seed, toppling the 63-win Seattle SuperSonics in a dramatic overtime Game 5. Led by Dikembe Mutombo’s legendary defense (15 rebounds, 8 blocks) and a balanced scoring attack, the Nuggets overcame a 2-0 series deficit and dominated the boards (58-36). The episode dives into the series’ key moments, Mutombo’s iconic celebration, and how this upset changed NBA playoff history forever.
