Sure, all the talk around Colorado right now is about the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals for the first time ever, but they are not the only major sports team in Colorado on the brink of a championship…

The two-time champion Colorado Mammoth lacrosse team will attempt to win its third championship title, and second in-a-row, on Saturday (June 3rd) at KeyBank Center in Buffalo against the Buffalo Bandits at 5:30 p.m. MDT.

Saturday is Game three of a best of three series, with each team winning one game on their home field already. It also means the winner of this game will be crowned the champion.

The Mammoth is in the 15-team National Lacrosse League, and are also owned by the Kroenke family, the same owners of the Nuggets and Avalanche.

Saturday’s game is at 5:30 p.m. MT on TSN, TSN+ and ESPN+.
