HOUSTON – The Nuggets have no answers for the Rockets.
For the ninth consecutive game dating back to the 2015’-16 season, the Rockets got the best of the Nuggets.
No combination of double-teams or hedges could contain James Harden, who scored 32 points on just 18 shots from the field as the Rockets won 125-113. When he wasn’t drilling one of his backbreaking 3-pointers (only one of his field goals wasn’t a triple), he was doling out one of his 14 assists to either rim-rolling center Clint Capela or wings P.J. Tucker and Gerald Green.
Those three combined for 73 points and 13 3-pointers.
