The Denver Nuggets, paced by huge outings from Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr, built a 20 point halftime lead and cruised from there to a victory over the Houston Rockets. Nikola Jokic scored 29 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists, and was three straight missed layups by his teammates from getting another triple double in just 3 quarters played. Michael Porter Jr. added 21 / 5 / 5 on just 13 shots, and the bench poured in 40+ to help make up for Monte Morris, who left early in the second half with what is hopefully a minor hamstring issue.
Recap: Nuggets destroy Rockets 128-99, MVP Jokic sits the 4th quarter
