The Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets got their game started in a hurry. They were trading baskets early on, and the two sides had combined for 25 points four minutes into the game with the Rockets leading 14-11 behind some hot shooting beyond the arc. Midway through the first quarter, Houston was leading by five while shooting over 70 percent from the field, and they were on pace for 46 points in the first. Following that hot start, the two teams forgot how to score as they combined for 10 points over the next four minutes of gameplay.
