If you will forgive me, reader, I wrote quite a lot for Five Out, so this may be a recap that mostly talks about the game, rather than general Rockets topics in the context of the game.
he anticipated freakout with Bruno Fernando starting didn’t happen, as Alperen Sengun started and went to town.
This was the Rockets third game in four nights, and they did not stretch their win streak out to three games. They competed, and stayed roughly level in a first half fireworks show with the Denver Nuggets, and then fell apart late in the third quarter.
