Denver Nuggets triumphed over Houston Rockets by 128-99. For the initial two and a half minutes, the Rockets lead. But later, the lead was all around the Nuggets. The lack of 29 points for the win added to the 2nd largest loss of this season for the Houston Rockets, which failed once again to launch.
Nikola Jokic made his case of MVP more powerful with 29 points, 16 rebounds, and 7 assists, while he missed 2 shots, for which he grabbed the offensive rebound. Kelly Olynyk scored 23 for the Rockets, the team-high, and Jae’Sean Tate added 21 for the team. Michael scored 21 with 5 rebounds. Kevin gave his poorest performance by scoring just four points. Rockets now looked flat and cannot escape from the potential Most Valuable Player rage.
