Recap: Denver wins a close one 95-94 as Jokic drops 28 and blocks Houston’s game-winning shot attempt

It’s not time to panic but there is plenty of room for concern regarding this Nuggets squad. Denver’s 95-94 win against the Rockets was anything but comfortable. Denver could not throw a pea in the ocean all game from three until Gordon hit two threes in a row late in the fourth. They were down by five until Gordon’s mini offensive explosion, but the game was still far from over. The Nuggets’ final offensive possession ended in a panic three as the shot clock expired giving Houston the last chance.

Jae’Sean Tate saw an open lane with seconds remaining but the MVP sent his shot backward and blocked it as time expired.
