Nuggets throttle Suns to reach NBA’s last four while Celtics force Game 7

• Denver win 125-100 to eliminate Phoenix from West semis
• Tatum's fourth-quarter threes lift Celtics in 95-86 victory
• Boston to host Philly on Sunday in winner-take-all Game 7

Nikola Jokic scored 32 points in another triple-double, Jamal Murray added 26 and the Denver Nuggets advanced to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2020 by beating the short-handed Phoenix Suns 125-100 in Game 6 on Thursday night.

Denver's series victory comes two seasons after the Nuggets were embarrassed in a second-round postseason sweep by the Suns. This time, it was the Suns getting blown out on their home floor to end the season for the second straight year.
