It may have been a while, but it was worth the wait. The Houston Rockets were at full-strength tonight, perhaps for the first time all season if you consider Eric Gordon was injured from the start, and they showed us a glimpse of what they’re capable of, thrashing the Denver Nuggets 130-104 to start off the new year on a positive note.
Gordon was back healthy for his second game, and James Harden and Clint Capela were back from minor injuries to springboard Houston to one of their most impressive victories of the year thus far.
