Recap: Nuggets blow out short-handed Rockets, 129-116

The Denver Nuggets put together a nice win on Saturday night, blowing the doors off the Rockets by a score of 129-116.

Jokic finished two rebounds short of a triple-double with 24 points, 12 assists, and 8 rebounds, continuing his MVP season with another efficient night. Michael Porter Jr. was the star tonight though, pouring in a career-high 39 points on 21 shots to lead all players in scoring.

Both teams started hot, each team making their first three field goal attempts. P.J. Dozier made his first three 3-point attempts, a good sign for the former Gamecock guard as he got the start for Will Barton.
