Nuggets assistant coach Chris Finch, a Rockets assistant for five seasons, made his first trip to Toyota Center since leaving the Rockets after last season, happy with a place coaching a team on the rise while keeping the lessons from last season's dysfunction in Houston.
"The trials and tribulations of last year are well documented," Finch said. "It's good to see the Rockets back playing at a high level. Having been in the game 20 years, you've pretty much seen it all at that point, but I think chemistry and philosophically, everybody being on the same page, that's too me what is so important right now.
