The Denver Nuggets started off the game against the Houston Rockets rather slow and trailed by 11 points early on. However, they turned things around over the second half of the first quarter and really started to build their lead against a subpar Rockets’ squad. Denver needed a win in this game in a crowded Western Conference and the Nuggets dealing with tons of injuries and covid protocol players and coaches. Denver lost the first quarter 30-31, but they were in striking distance.
In the second quarter, Denver had completely flipped the script, and they just couldn’t be stopped on the offensive end of the floor.
