Let’s face it, the Houston Rockets are just a terrible matchup for Denver. The Nuggets could not stop Houston from getting to the foul line or making threes and dropped the matchup in Houston 125-113. The game was reminiscent of previous matchups with Clint Capela dunking all over Denver in the paint for a career-high 31, and Houston hitting 22 of 47 three pointers. James Harden had 6 of those and 32 points overall. Nikola Jokic had 24 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists in just 28 minutes, but Denver sitting him for most of the fourth quarters as they got down by 18 says all you need to know about the flow of the game despite 21 points from Monte Morris and 14 from Malik Beasley off the bench.
