Denver Nuggets 129, Houston Rockets 116: Three takeaways
The Nuggets had an emphatic reply to their disappointing showing in the Bay Area with a dominant 129-116 victory over Rockets.
Denver’s outburst on offense against Houston was a clear bounce-back from Friday evening, where it could only muster 97 against the Warriors.
Nikola Joki\u0107 was one of several Nuggets to get back to his best, putting another near triple-double with 24 points, 12 assists, and eight boards in just 29 minutes. He also missed only four of his 14 shots. D.J. Wilson was the top man for the struggling Rockets with 25 points and eight rebounds.
