Harden, Capela lead Rockets to 130-104 win over Nuggets

HOUSTON — James Harden and some of his Houston teammates got after Clint Capela after he missed a couple of easy layups in the first quarter against the Denver Nuggets.

"Oh, we yelled at him for missing those bunnies, too, because we've got to look at it as a playoff game and all those points under the basket have to be ... finishes," Harden said.

Capela soon turned things around and more than made up for his early errors.

Harden scored 28 points, Capela added 23 points with a career-high 25 rebounds and the Rockets never trailed in a lopsided 130-104 win on Friday night.
