This win doesn’t completely make up for the long season, but it surely helps going home on a good note.
Your Houston Rockets secured a 21 point victory over the Denver Nuggets with a relentless fourth quarter burst that made the visitors tap out early. Entering the final frame in a near deadlock, the Rockets pushed their one point lead to double digits as they forced Nuggets’ Coach, Michael Malone, to call three timeouts.
Malone pulled a rusty Nikola Jokiu0107, and the rest of the starters, with about five and a half minutes remaining, virtually signaling the waiving of the white flag.
